The Importance of Creativity and Compassion in Healing -with Jeanne Bessette

She emphasizes the importance of creativity in the healing process and the need for self-compassion. Jeanne also delves into the concept of flow state and multidimensionality, highlighting the significance of being present at the moment.

It connects us to our deepest emotions and guides us toward inspiration and awe, and that brings forth our true self. Jeanne Bessette’s art hangs in the homes of thousands of private collectors and some notable public figures. She has enjoyed working with actors, directors, and producers of films, musicians, authors, and television celebrities alike. By 2014, after many years of trial and error, Jeanne was represented by over 24 galleries in the U.S. and in Canada. By 2016 Jeanne was successfully producing and selling over 500 works of art yearly, and she was beginning to feel the pressure of that level of success as a mid-career artist. In 2018 Jeanne made a monumental decision to change the way she was working. So she removed all of my art from the galleries and took some time to work on her soul and recalibrate who she was as an artist. Jeanne hired spiritual mentors and guides and dove into my truth as an artist, a healer, and a psychic being. What has come of that is the work you can now see as conscious art. Her career continues to thrive and is built upon a discerning clientele in a much more personal way. Working one-on-one and through dealers who understand that the relationship between artist and client is important and that true art is not just something we hang in our spaces but something that is alive. ________________ If you or someone you know need help with a domestic violence situation contact the national domestic violence hotline at 800-799-7233 or  online at https://www.thehotline.org/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=domestic_violence
