118: You Can Be Progressive and Spiritual with Whitney McNeill

with host artist Miriam Schulman

This episode explores the intersection between spirituality and politics, and why they’re mutually exclusive.

Some of the conversations I’ve had recently have been challenging people to think differently, and I fully believe this is an essential role of an artist, which is why I’ve integrated my views on racism, feminism, spirituality, politics, and life in general into The inspiration Place Podcast.

When I speak out, I’m empowering others to use their voice and express their opinions and beliefs. I invite you to do the same and integrate all your beliefs and the ways you express yourself into your art.

Put your art into your life and your life into your art.

In this podcast, you will discover…

Why you should let go of “us and them” thinking when it comes to political and spiritual beliefs.
Why you can’t assume that just because someone is using “spiritual” vocabulary, that they’ve adopted the beliefs of fringe groups that have co-opted that language.
Why as artists, we should never quiet our voices, whether that expression takes the form of artwork or words.
