We need art: Nourish the soul | Day 334 of my 2023 Journal

Cecilie Conrad·Nov 30, 2023

We can not live on tortillas alone.

We need art.

We need a lot of art.

Something to choose from, something to browse through, something to contrast what we just saw.

Something to underline what we don’t understand.

Something to make us question what we know.Something to help us recharge.

Something to allow us to reach out to what is not reachable and bring it closer.

We walked to a collection of galleries called the Fabrica de Aurora while taking the time to see all of (most of) the galleries on the way. We especially liked David :::::: and the artist who made all kinds of art with the same figure: the figure is Timo, the artist is Rodrigo de la Sierra.

This city has an art academy, and it shows; it seems like it is a powerhouse for artists; the quality is great of most of what we saw. And we had a lovely walk. The galleries were supported by the murals and the beauty of the buildings, again, especially the doors being so beautiful.

As an extra little plus, we enjoyed a good coffee at the cafe at the Fabrica, as our brains were fried after absorbing so much art, and we had the opportunity to sit with our faces to the window looking at the little pond with geese and ducks - so peaceful for the mind.

As a special treat to us new to the continent, a single hummingbird passed by and made us smile. 



On the way back, we listened to more traditional music in front of the cathedral and sat for a moment to enjoy the building and the life around it before we went home to rest. With nourished souls, smiles on our hearts. 

With love

Unschooling and Parent consulting, conversations, blogposts, and podcasts on family life and learning

Hi, I'm Cecilie Conrad. I'm a trained psychologist, mother of four, radical unschooler and full-time traveller. I have lived with unschooling for over a decade and help other families find their own path – whether it is about homeschooling, unschooling, or the bigger question of how you want to live as a family.

I offer guidance, conversations and talks. I call my work grandmothering – not coaching in the traditional sense, but presence, professional insight and concrete help navigating motherhood and finding your way home to your own values.

Am I the right person to help you? You can book a free discovery call, and we'll talk and figure it out.
