The experience of permission answers our fundamental human yearning to be accepted and loved as we are.
Artist, educator, and art therapist Nona Orbach shares how to cultivate permission as a field for creative living and a bridge across the rifts in a diverse, divided society. We accompany her as she strolls, draws, and writes, linking insights from Japanese culture, ancient and contemporary art, theories of consciousness, and the art therapy open studio.
Orbach invites readers to write their reflections in the book, adding their own insights to the palimpsest as they learn through art and story how permission catalyzes transformation, increases optimism and compassion, and enhances freedom.
