Meet Arwen Ek: an ex-Buddhist nun, freelance writer, healer, land-escape artist, nonprofit director, singer-songwriter, Butoh dancer, & undercover shamanic goddess (work in progress). Since I left Tara Mandala and my monastic vows in 2011, my life has been filled with the mundane pursuits of raising children and starting a nonprofit – but all the while my creative fire has been smoldering in the dark recesses of my subconscious.
The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves.
-Carl Jung
Who are you? You are curious, intelligent, rebellious, strong-willed, ever seeking and asking all the right questions. My question for you: what do you desire? what did you hope to find here? where is your mind?
Who are you?
