Dying over this woven work which are both huge in size. The colors! The detail! The 2nd one is a story of tribal life of a group of women. #rajasthani_culture #soulpaintingindia

Y’all I cant put into words about our first day & a half in India. It’s all the things. Something in me comes alive and feels the goddess & the ancient so deeply here, in myself, in all others I see (including seeing God in the chaos, trash, & dust). So much generosity, so much color, care, & wildness. @cathynicholsart & I spent the day sussing out my planned locales and activities for the retreat that begins in a few days. My heart cracked open during a puppet show on the sunset bathed lawn with traditional singing & music. Anyway the jet lag is also quite real... so it’s all the things. As is God, as is this father motherland.

Leaving for India today - can’t believe the day is finally here! Whipped out one last painting & new palette lesson yesterday. Promise to share lotsa pics... a lot of emotions running through me yet the day I leave for a big trip there’s always this quiet calm that overcomes me. The mystery patiently awaits... 🧡💕🌼
