Week 8: Building Strength

Moving Through Grief and Dreaming New Dreams

Hey friends, sorry this post is late! This week is another potentially tough one. It’s about mourning our creative losses and tending wounds. It’s also about building the strength to survive them. Lots of good, important stuff to ponder.

If you need a place to work through some of this in community, the Summer Art Club Discord is a great place to do that. I’ll drop the invite link again at the bottom of the post if you need it! Rooting for you. 💛

“Artistic losses can be turned into artistic gains and strengths — but not in the isolation of the beleaguered artist’s brain.”
