About Artists for Joy
More than a hobby or a hustle, creativity can be a deeply resonant spiritual practice that connects us to ourselves, to each other, and to the sacred. If you're stuck or uninspired or if you're curious about how the creative life might bring you deep satisfaction, healing, and even joy, pull up a chair. Juilliard-trained oboist, author, and coach Merideth Hite Estevez helps the self-proclaimed artist and the creatively curious discover (or recover) the joy of making. New episodes go live every Friday!

They can't walk through to the other side. I realized rather poetically this morning, as I stood at my own kind of starting line, that I had written three different versions of this first episode, two of them here on my computer, one or more in my head. and that I was afraid, too.
