In this solo episode, Alicia speaks about the importance of being in the body when we create. So often, our society prizes the gifts of the mind but forgets the wisdom of the body. When we stop separating them into two parts of us, we can integrate the whole body at once and utilize all of us as we create our creations.
This episode comes in response to studying the head center in Alicia's class Creative Rhythms. If you'd like to join the next three week segment of Creative Rhythms, we'd love to have you:

Studying WICKED's Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-Butera through the lens of Human Design
In this solo episode, Alicia examines the human design charts of the actors from the movie WICKED, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande-Butera. Alicia has been obsessed with the movie since before it came out and even more after seeing it. When she saw the two main actors' human design charts, Alicia realized how they were truly made for these roles and designed to work together.
If you are interested in looking at your own creative process through the Human Design lens, allowing more alignment into your practice and therefore more breakthroughs, join Alicia in her Course: Creative Rhythms; The Art of Pause, Play, & Epiphany! Class starts March 10th & the early bird bonus ends March 2nd! Check it out: https://square.link/u/D1GqlHsI

How to Invite Epiphany into your Creative Process
In this episode, Alicia talks about her favorite part of the creative process, the epiphanies that surprise and delight all of us and give clarity about the direction our work is going. Alicia also talks about how she creates space to allow more epiphanies to happen by allowing herself to be in the process of experimenting and playing as often as possible.
But it's not always easy in the "real" world to make time for creative play. Producing a final product becomes our obsession as artists. But what if this thought is actually stunting our creativity?
Alicia has created a course, Creative Rhythms; The Art of Pause, Play, & Epiphany that is meant to support you in forming a habit of play and authenticity. On February 24th at 9am pst / 12pm est, Alicia will host a free intro class. If you are interested, please sign up:

Creating Safe Spaces for our Trans and Queer Community
In this episode, I speak with Alyssa Rose and Jesse Greenfield about some simple and loving ways to be inclusive of transgender and queer people in our community. They share what it feels like to be trans in this anti-trans world we are living in and how micro-affirmations can make all the difference between life and death.
Alyssa Rose (they/them) is an artist and dreamer of liberation. They create paintings, collage, sculpture, movement-art, and healthier cultural ecosystems in dance communities. Currently, Alyssa serves as the Operations Coordinator at DISCO RIOT, a community-centered dance nonprofit based in San Diego that supports local independent artists. As a disabled and queer/trans person, Alyssa feels called to guide and empower marginalized people through embodiment. Alyssa’s ongoing interests span research around Buddha Dharma, collective liberation, neuroqueering community care, and how these areas of focus can be expressed through art and artistic process.
