Ep. 2. The Art of Creative Living and Allowing with Anniina Ruonala

Our first episode in English is here!

Our guest today is my dear friend Anniina Ruonala, an artist of all kinds - a painter and a writer - besides being a student of philosophy and art history living in Glasgow, originally from Finland. 

In our conversation with Anniina we talk about her journey back to to art time and time again. We dive into her creative processes as an artist, giving herself space, time to mediate and using all of her experiences as fuel for her creations. Anniina also talks about the importance of pausing and staying slow on this path, embracing every season of the cycle of creation. Then we explore our ways of processing emotions through outlets other than art: meditation, movement, morning pages.

We have mentioned during our talk these books:

Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
