In today's episode, guest Meaghan Miller Lopez, artist, energy medicine practitioner and online entrepreneur, will speak about:
How does having a creative practice help us move through loss?
What was it like to have a brain injury? How did it impact you as an artist?
How is COVID-19 an opportunity to tend to what really matters?
What gifts are showing up?

Meaghan Miller Lopez is an Australian-born artist, energy medicine practitioner and online entrepreneur living in Los Angeles, California. She makes art, projects and experiences that help people feel more alive, validated and connected to what matters.

In 2017, a traumatic brain injury led Meaghan to engage with art-making and consciousness exploration as a healing practice. While recovering, Meaghan developed a signature, alchemical approach to intuitive painting. Her practice is informed by elements of dreamwork, metaphysical wisdom, Human Design, energetic medicine, Reiki healing, and access to the Akashic Records.

Meaghan is a member of the Los Angeles Art Association and has facilitated creative art experiences for global leaders and creatives in the technology, entertainment, and beauty industries. She is the founder of Touchstone Studio, an online magic shop for vibrational art and healing, Metaphysical Kindergarten, a beginner's guide to the unknown, and the Stardust Dreaming, a community of creative lightworkers.

Meaghan has a huge capacity for being in the unknown and navigating unexpected circumstances. She’s a catalyst for connecting with the potency and magic that’s available to all of us in every moment and finding the gift that lies within loss, grief and challenging situations.
