  • What is Art Church?
    Jun 7 2021

    Art Church is a meditation podcast for artists and creatives designed to help you build a small but mighty ritual around preparing to enter your studio, whether that might be a writing desk or easel in the corner of your living room, a tiny sketchbook you carry around in your pocket, or an entire kitchen, workshop, or dance hall.

    In this first season, we’ll be calling your creative self home, exploring and tending your internal creative spaces, and unlocking your creative radiance in bite-sized weekly meditations you can listen to before you create. 

    Season One episodes will be released each Wednesday over the summer starting late June 2021. Find us wherever you listen to podcasts to subscribe and follow along on Instagram @art.church.pod 

    I’m your host, Angela Norman. I’ve been building a relationship with the mystery as a process artist and intuitive for more than two decades.  

    You can learn more about me and ways to connect with me at interstellar.com or follow what I’m up to in the studio on Instagram @TAOIarts

  • 1 Let's Start at the Center
    Jun 30 2021

    Many creatives say to me… I can’t meditate. When this happens, I ask them to say more. There are so many ways to meditate… moving meditations, still meditations, visualizations, breath work, mindfulness, and just being in the zone while you’re creating! Meditation is time that you set aside to bring your awareness to your center, ground, and make contact with your creative source. In each episode of Art Church you’ll have an opportunity to do just that in bite-sized 8-10 minute meditations. Many of which can be done as either a still or moving meditation to fit your style.

    Art Church is brought to you by TAOI Arts and Innerstella. I’m Angela Norman. You can follow what I’m up to in the studio on Instagram @TAOIarts or if you’d like to schedule an individual meditation or intuitive session with me, you can do so at innerstella.com

  • 5 Defining Your Personal Creative Space
    Jul 21 2021

    NOTE: You might find it helpful to listen to episodes 2 and 3 before listening to today’s meditation. 

    Head over to Ko-fi.com/artchurch to support the podcast or purchase the worksheet from today’s episode. 

    Today we’re going to tune into your immediate surroundings and define your personal creative space… this exercise invites you to establish a boundary at the edge of where the space around you that is for only you… only your creative energy… ends and the rest of the world begins. This edge helps you more easily discern between what is yours and what is not. AND it helps you set and hold boundaries around your space and time in your studio. This is also a great exercise for those of you who like to create or write in public spaces.
