Conversations Along The Way
This podcast features a series of conversations about what matters most, however you choose to label it. I have, since childhood, been fascinated by two fundamental, interlocking questions: what does it mean to be fully alive? Why are we here? Drawing on my years of reflection on and practice of personal growth, Christianity and Buddhism as well as my vocational experience as a journalist and visual storyteller, I want to engage my guests deeply on questions of truth and meaning and how our respective understanding of these matters has shaped our lives. Life is equal parts glorious, confounding, and terrifying and the adventures and misadventures we all have along the way are a source of endless fascination to me. I hope you join me in exploring these timeless topics. Logo © 2023, Marcus Kollmorgen.
Conversations Along The Way
CATW # 7 – with Paula Friedland on Art and Its Connection to Spiritual Growth
I'm joined by my good friend Paula Friedland, a counselor, certified coach, corporate and public speaking trainer, as well as an actor and singer. We talk about the meaning and importance of art and artistic expression in our lives and its close relationship with personal growth and the spiritual quest. Our guiding questions for the conversation:
- At its core, what is art (the appreciation of it, the pursuit of it, the creation of it) about for you?
- When did you first know you were an artist?
- When did you first come to think of yourself as a spiritual seeker?
- What are the similarities and differences between these two goals/identities?
