Helen Spaw, MPS shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Helen, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: Have you ever been glad you didn’t act fast?
Yes, most times if I pause to think before taking an action it works out for the best.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I create art and lead Healing Art Circles, as well as programs and events for wellness through art and contemplation. Healing Art Circles are supportive wellness experiences I offer using my background in art therapy combined with intentions I adapted from Healing Circles.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I knew I was an artist beginning at age 3.
Do you remember a time someone truly listened to you?
Part of the Healing Art Circle experience is experiencing deep listening- to ourselves and others. After having this experience for myself, I appreciate being able to offer this experience to others.
Next, maybe we can discuss some of your foundational philosophies and views? What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
I believe in the power of the creative process and Healing Art Circles, and how they transform lives. Since it is an unknown experience to most, it takes time for participants to find a Healing Art Circle and let themselves try it.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. What will you regret not doing?
I hope for no regrets.
