Is rebellious energy necessary as a catalyst for creative expression?

In today's podcast, Gemma and Angela grapple with the inner and outer dynamics of the Creative Rebel. Join us as we riff on the necessity of ‘pushing back’ and claiming space for our creative spirit. We draw inspiration from Blessed Are the Weird: A Manifesto for Creatives and flow into a lively discussion on why honoring creativity is not vital to our own self-exploration but is an integral part of re-envisioning humanity. Gemma goes back 15 years to a pivotal moment that was the catalyst for her entire abstract painting journey. She shares how, amongst very difficult circumstances, she chose to align with the creative spirit and walk across the threshold into her art life.

About The Hosts:

Gemma Kauffman
Intensely intuitive, introspective, former wild child Gemma credits her recent decade of ‘wrestling with complexity’ (aka abstract painting) for connecting her with her deepest desires and for making it through the initiation of maiden to mother. She loves deep conversation and pondering the mysteries of self-expression; which she experiences as a portal or cosmic mirror.

Since a spiritual awakening on a volcanic island, Gemma has been following the golden threads of art life and encouraging others to do the same. Future self? It used to be Kate Bush, cloudbusting on a hillside, cocooned in brightly painted silk- these days… tbc!

A creative coach and meditation teacher, she enjoys family life, off grid, in Portugal.

Angela Levesque
As a prolific wordsmith, transformational guide and digital wizard, Angela Levesque spends a lot of her time listening to the whispers of the Universe. Translating those whispers into stories, classes, art, insights, and meditations has been her life's work.

She is a lover of problem-solving and thinking on her feet. And is always willing to dive off the cliff and learn how to fly on the way down if the creative force beckons.
