Religion & Spirituality
Today’s guest is Julia Brown, an artist, entrepreneur, recovering fundamentalist Christian, and a living example of the mystical wisdom of the artist. Julia drops wisdom left and right in this conversation as she shares how she’s learned to navigate capitalism as an artist, and how her faith directs and influences her creative work. We talk about the limits of language, embracing mystery, and choosing compassion instead of judgement for ourselves and others. Julia has her own pottery business, and previously started an art studio for adults with disabilities in Nashville, TN. Julia and her husband live and work on the farm they created, the Tiny Giant Farm in Kalamazoo, MI.Connect with Julia's art and lifeConnect with Julia's craft and businessConnect with Heather on InstagramDid you hear?
