83. 'The Art Of Aliveness' With Flora Bowley

Susan Nethercote Studio Insider Art Podcast

Today’s podcast guest is a bit of a hero for me. Flora Bowley is an artist, author, and gentle guide whose creative process and soulful approach to living have touched thousands of lives.
Blending over twenty-five years of professional painting experience with her background as a yoga instructor, healer, and lifelong truth seeker, Flora’s intimate popular in-person retreats and online courses have empowered a global network of brave painters while creating a new holistic movement in the intuitive art world.

One of the earliest painting e-courses I took was with Flora. And her book ‘Brave intuitive painting’ and also ‘Creative Revolution’ rung very very true for me.

In her most recent book, The Art of Aliveness, Flora explores the vast ways in which the principles of creativity can serve as fuel for a more alive and awakened way of living in the world – no paintbrushes required.

I so hope you enjoy this deep and rich conversation with Flora Bowley about how the lessons derived from painting can inspire a more alive, awakened and embodied way of living.

Some of the key moments include;

• Flora explains what she means by ‘fully committing yourself while remaining open to change’ and how it can help us develop as artists and people.
  
• Why contrast in both life and painting is a powerful tool for growth.
  
• How Flora processed profound grief to arrive in a beautiful place of peace, acceptance and growth.
