I'm very excited to have my Tibetan sacred art teacher, Carmen Mensink, on the podcast today! Carmen is an amazing artist from Holland and has been studying Tibetan Buddhist art and practicing Buddhism for almost 20 years. She now teaches at many wonderful places across New York City, including the Rubin Museum of Art, Tibet House - NY and many more, and I'm so fortunate to work with her on my own sacred art! She has graciously agreed to share her insight on sacred art with us today! 

Thanks so much to Carmen for chatting with us today! Check back on the Holistic Spaces blog for a post on Tibetan symbols coming soon!

CREATING HOLISTIC SPACES FOR INSPIRATION

Episode 024: Creating Holistic Spaces for Inspiration
Anjie Cho, Holistic Spaces Podcast

In January, I was asked to choose a word for the year 2016, and I chose "inspiration." I find that there are so many ways to create and find inspiration in our everyday lives, and one great way to tap into this is by creating a holistic space! Inspiration is so important, and I want to offer insight into how creating a holistic space can help bring inspiration to your life. 

  • What is inspiration?

  • How can you create an environment that invokes inspiration?

  • Invoking inspiration in your holistic spaces

I hope you can use these tips to transform your home into an inspirational holistic space where you feel nourished and uplifted. I would love to hear about the ways you encourage inspiration in your holistic space!
