It’s easy to forget that art can explore the connection between nature, our depth for compassion and our feelings … without even saying a word. If you’ve ever wondered how art can serve as a powerful bridge for emotional and psychological well-being, you’re not the only one. What if art can empower as well as heal its viewers? In this episode, hostess Angelina Carleton speaks with Dr. Vasundhara (“Vasu”) Tolia to speak about her journey from stethoscope to paintbrush in her legacy thoughts. Vasu reveals how art can provide serenity as well as inspiration with humans who need healing, peace of mind and meaning. Learn how art can offer you resilience, recovery as well as renewal. Or tune in and get inspired by Dr. Tolia’s example of her designing her legacy, as she speaks at the Thrive Conference as well as the World Health Organization conference in living into her legacy vision!
