63: Tapping the Well of Creation with Satya Moses
Each of us is gifted with aspects of creativity; the difference is that some people are aware and attuned to those gifts in deeper and more fulfilling ways. These are the creatives who use their gifts to make an impact in the world and touch other lives. My guest today is a gentle soul who brings his creative gifts forward in unique and time-honoring ways to brighten our world. Join me for a closer look at his work. Satya Moses is an artist and illustrator from New England. His life and art combine respect and reverence for the non-human, a deep fascination with folklore and mythology, and a love of God according to his understanding of Hinduism. This summer, he self-published his first book, Hare and the Hedge Woman: Stories from the Forest, a collection of interwoven, original fairy tales replete with intricate illustrations influenced by his explorations of traditional European lore and ecology. Satya shares openly and generously about his process in the work of creation in staying the course on his long-term book project.Show Highlights:How Satya’s love of art and creation began in his earliest memories, mainly because of the encouragement of his parentsWhy Satya is fascinated with folklore and traditions of cultures around the worldHow cultures develop as our similar ideas are expressed in different ways, depending on our language and landscapeHow Satya’s book came to be, both the stories and the illustrationsSatya’s advice for those who work on long-term creative projects (His book took about six years to complete!)How Satya brings his spiritual practice into the creative processWhy storytelling around a fire at night is the pinnacle of tapping into the depths of the human experienceWhat “living in your purpose” means to SatyaHow your creative calling can have a big impact in the world–but also contains a paradoxHear Satya’s answers to rapid-fire questions about helpful advice, grounding habits, favorite hot beverage, last meal on earth, morning routine, an inspiring person, something people might not know about him, what he’s reading right now, and what’s bringing him joy right now.Links and Resources:Connect with Satya: Website, Instagram, and Pre-order his book(2nd edition)Books and authors mentioned by Satya: Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist by Paul Kingsnorth, A Story Like the Wind by Laurens Van Der Post, and authors Martin Shaw, Martin Prechtel, and Terry Tempest WilliamsConnect with me:Join me for Magnetize Your Dream Clients, a three day masterclass with me August 29-31, 100% of profits go to the Sovereign Bodies Institute.
