The '26 Artist's Way Workshop Chapter 1: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
The '26 Artist's Way Workshop Chapter 1: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
This is the second installment of The Artist’s Way Workshop Series. We will be studying Chapter One on “Recovering a Sense of Safety” and broader topics will discuss how we can overcome our feelings of imposter syndrome and self-doubt. The art activity will be collaged-based and is meant to help us reframe our self-perceptions. It was inspired by a quote from the late spiritual teacher, Ram Dass.
“WHEN YOU GO OUT INTO THE WOODS, AND YOU LOOK AT TREES, YOU SEE ALL THESE DIFFERENT TREES. AND SOME OF THEM ARE BENT, AND SOME OF THEM ARE STRAIGHT, AND SOME OF THEM ARE EVERGREENS, AND SOME OF THEM ARE WHATEVER. AND YOU LOOK AT THE TREE AND YOU ALLOW IT. YOU SEE WHY IT IS THE WAY IT IS. YOU SORT OF UNDERSTAND THAT IT DIDN’T GET ENOUGH LIGHT, AND SO IT TURNED THAT WAY. AND YOU DON’T GET ALL EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT. YOU JUST ALLOW IT. YOU APPRECIATE THE TREE.
THE MINUTE YOU GET NEAR HUMANS, YOU LOSE ALL THAT. AND YOU ARE CONSTANTLY SAYING ‘YOU ARE TOO THIS, OR I’M TOO THIS.’ THAT JUDGMENT MIND COMES IN. AND SO I PRACTICE TURNING PEOPLE INTO TREES. WHICH MEANS APPRECIATING THEM JUST THE WAY THEY ARE.”
- RAM DASS
