“Creativity is the way that we heal. It is the way that we alchemize a lot of our trauma into magic.” Sah D'Simone sits down with Creativity Coach, Author, Speaker, and Podcaster Amie McNee to explore the transformative power of creativity and art in our lives. This discussion dives deep into the vital role of artistic expression in healing, personal growth, and connecting with our deeper selves. Amie, whose upcoming book "We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something" is set to release in March 2025, shares her passion for empowering others to embrace their inherent creativity.

This conversation touches on essential themes: the alchemical nature of art in transforming trauma into beauty, the prophetic potential of creative expression, and the power of artists' voices in shaping our world. Amie and Sah explore how art gives us agency, creates momentum in our lives, and allows us to rewrite our internal narratives. They also delve into the practice of journaling as a form of art, discussing how it can serve as a time capsule of the present moment and a tool for self-discovery. Amie reveals how the act of creating can be both beautiful and challenging, confronting us with our darkness and light. Whether you're a seasoned artist or someone who's never considered themselves creative, this episode offers wisdom and encouragement to tap into your artistic potential. Join Sah and Amie for a soul-stirring conversation on creativity, self-expression, and the transformative power of making art. GUEST BIO Amie McNee created in total isolation for a long time. She bought into the stories that Artists can't make money, that they're lazy, that they're avoiding the real world. She spent years working jobs she hated, writing books and in a cycle of depression because she believed her desire to live a creative life made her less than. The work she does now is in service to her past self. She speaks, teaches and writes love letters to creators, reminding them that the world needs what they have to make, reminding them of their worth, and their importance in this world. Amie has been called to create supportive, empowered communities for writers and artists. She believes this is a big, beautiful, hard journey, and that no one needs to do it without support.

This week, Sah brings you a solocast sharing the spiritual lessons he learned while trekking with his father over 500 miles from France to Spain on the ancient and revered pilgrim's path, the Camino de Santiago. What began as an effort to process and honor the grief they were experiencing after the loss of Sah's mother, Patricia, ended as a father-son bonding experience rich with profound spiritual lessons and discoveries from within.  Walking for 7 hours a day— through all weather conditions across ever-changing terrain —gave Sah and his father plenty of time, space, and immersement in nature to explore the depths of their grief, the expanse of their hearts, and contemplate their desires for the future after their heartbreaking loss. This podcast was recorded live in The Somatic Activated Healing Membership as part of Sah's monthly Dharma Talks.
