Listening In: Aine Divine on Art as Catharsis, Following Sparks, Surrendering to Creative Blocks, and Fully Occupying Your Body in the Creative Process| Ep.19
In this episode, Aine Divine shares how trusting your inner voice can guide you through creative challenges, from embracing pauses during blocks to following sparks of inspiration. She reflects on transforming dark times into cathartic art, staying true to her instincts, and finding joy in the process. Talking to Aine makes me feel better that even renowned artists face obstacles. Her advice to focus on what we authentically feel reminds us that 'bodily listening-in' can be a powerful source of meaningful and inspiring creativity.
A powerful poem by Aine's friend John, which she shared during our conversation. It’s fascinating how sometimes we only realize the source of artistic inspiration when reflecting on it in hindsight.
