the inspiration:


"Origins" conjures images of beginnings. It dangles the idea of genesis and intimates the unseen forces from which things emerge. For a Soul Artist, "Origins" conjures a sense of mystery and potential. It invites you to reflect on the tapestry of everything, to contemplate the cosmos, and remember your personal lineage. Beginnings are points of departure. Beginnings are the beacons that point the way toward home. Beginnings are the sutras, the threads that weave the past and future around this moment, now. 


"Origins" is the foundation where creative freedom takes root. This issue will invite you to unearth the hidden treasures and forgotten stories that lie beneath the surface of the everyday human experience. Linger here in these generative soils to rebuild the structures of your identity, your cultural heritage, and your unique expression of the creative cosmos. Because the imagery of the "Origins" belongs to you. It is both grandiose and intimate. It includes the birth of stars, the swirling nebulae from which planets coalesce. It includes your first childhood memory. The interplay between the macro and micro are the origins of this poem. And by "poem," I mean this first issue of the Soul Artist Journal. May the rhythm and cadence of "Origins" unfold like a beloved story that provides real movement at the level of your soul. 


As you peruse these pages, through the beauty and the chaos, you will be reminded that "Origins" carries an inherent duality—it is about both what is known and unknown. We succumb to the allure in this quest to trace things back to their original source, but we also remember that the whole story can never be told. Some treasures were never meant to be found. Let them remain in the fertile ground for our collective imagination, as we relish the sacred space where questions resound more harmoniously than answers. 


This first issue of the Soul Artist Journal is an invitation to enter. Explore what is possible. Get intimate with the primal forces that constitute existence. Find inspiration inside the shadows and the light. We invite you to celebrate the beginnings and endings in the cyclical dance of life. This is how we make meaning.

Singing Our Heart's Song: A Guide to the Five Elements and Plant Spirit Healing

$58.00

Author: Marlow Brooks


SECOND EDITION

This book is a beautiful synthesis of Marlow’s decades of internal cultivation and study of the Five Element system of medicine. This is most poignantly illustrated by her inclusion of the works from her students.


Chinese medicine has always been a collective endeavor. For thousands of years, human beings have drawn upon a deep desire to know themselves and how to apply those discoveries to the process of healing. This is how Chinese medicine evolves and grows to continuously meet the needs of the current era. The sign of a wise and cultivated teacher, in my opinion, is one who creates spaces for his or her students to discover their own wisdom in ways that vitalize and perpetually transform the field of medicine. In this endeavor, Chinese medicine continues to evolve through the eager hearts of empowered leaders. The multiplicity of voices forms a larger melody that contains a kind of beauty, elegance, and potency only available through collective expression. This book is an exquisite example of a collective offering that will add to the development of Chinese medicine as a healing art.”


— Alexander LoveM. Ac., Acupuncturist & Coach,Professor, Academy for Five Element Acupuncture, Associate Professor, Southwest Acupuncture College


Marlow Brooks has taught Five Element Plant Spirit Healing to students at Naropa University in Boulder, CO for over twenty years. Singing Our Heart’s Song includes the fresh and lively voices of students from as far back as 1998, woven together by a thread of Marlow’s voice and her artwork. May it open doors to a new way of knowing and being human, and provide a path for greater transformation within ourselves and our community.
