Creativity as Healing: Movement, Myth & Making at Beacon Ranch
At Beacon Ranch Studio™, creativity as healing isn’t just a philosophy—it’s the foundation of everything I share. After experiencing profound loss and trauma, I discovered that embracing creativity as a response to life’s challenges opens doorways to healing that conventional approaches alone cannot reach.
Through my journey of creative healing, I’ve learned that when we move past our limitations, we unlock authentic self-expression and profound transformation.

Lion's Paw Breathwork: A 3-Minute Practice for Courage Beyond Fear
This simple yet powerful breathwork practice represents a key element of creative living beyond fear. The Lion’s Paw technique combines trauma-informed movement with positive affirmations to help you:
- Release stored emotions and create safety in your body
- Activate the heart and lung meridians for improved energy flow
- Develop mental clarity and emotional resilience
- Build confidence through embodied practice
As we shape our hands into “lion’s paws” and move with intention, we physically express the courage to face challenges head-on. This practice honors the symbolism of the lion—representing fearless strength and unshakable confidence—while providing practical tools for transformation.
Unlike many breathwork practices that require extensive time commitments, this 3-minute exercise fits easily into any daily routine. It demonstrates that living creatively beyond fear isn’t about grand gestures, but about consistent small practices that build courage over time.
Watch the video and practice along with me to experience how embodied movement can help you break free from limitation and step into your authentic power.
