Living an Authentic Life

I was asked recently to address an online group called Design Your Life, about living an authentic life in times when the culture is trying to manipulate our behavior. 

As an artist I've had to resist the forces of the dominant culture for my whole career in order to be myself, and have become pretty good at it. Now that I intentionally make less money every year, I'm happier not doing other's bidding, but following my heart. 

Many people have asked about the presentation, which was recorded. I'm attaching two videos, one of just my talk (26 min.) 

Tim Holmes: Sculpting a Life 

...and one with the whole 2-hour conversation including many insightful and deep questions about living in a culture that is always trying to turn us into something else then we are meant to be. 

My hope in sharing this is that you will be inspired to listen to your own inner voice. Contact me with any questions:

My inspiration has migrated from traditional materials to working with the field of the psyche as if it were a theater. Many of my recent ideas and inspirations have to do with relationships and how we inhabit the earth and our unique slot in the story of evolution. I wish to use art– or whatever it is I do now– to move the evolution of humanity forward into an increasingly responsive, inclusive and sustainable culture. As globalization flattens peoples into capitalist monoculture I hope to use my art to celebrate historical cultural differences and imagine how we can co-create a rich future together.
