TanglePod: Recent Episodes
Kellie and Juliette
Listen in as Juliette and Kellie explore the importance of regular creative practice and igniting a spark of joy and inspiration inside each of us. Kellie and Juliette are Certified Zentangle Teachers who love to share and encourage mindfulness and creativity.
Looking ahead to the future, we will be spending a little time exploring what is next on our creative journey.
Meanwhile, you can find Juliette at www.artsamuse.com and Kellie at www.soundtangle.com.
Thanks for listening!
Today we are talking about the "spark of joy" that prompted our podcast and the enthusiasm and energy we gain from having creative conversations. We also examine change and transition - what feeds us through different seasons of life and the search for community and fulfillment.
We want to hear from you - our listeners - what feeds you? what do you treasure about TanglePod?

ABOUT TANGLEPOD:
TanglePod is hosted by Juliette and Kellie, two Seattle area residents who found each other through a common interest in the feeling of well-being that comes with creativity.
Every time we meet, we find ourselves conversing on a variety of topics that center on creativity, focused mind time, how to get our creative flow going again, adding balance to our day and mindfulness to our life. TanglePod came out of the idea that this might be a way to share our enthusiasm with others to help them spark their creativity.
We are both Certified Zentangle® Teachers. As Zentangle teachers – we meet a lot of our own creative needs by regularly practicing the Zentangle Method ® and find that we can apply a lot of the elements of Zentangle to other aspects of our life. We also enjoy sharing this experience with our students and now are thrilled to be able to do so with our listeners.
Its springtime, which means spring break and hopefully a transition from the cold dark days of winter to the brighter days of spring. We took a little time off this week and share with you an archive episode Min-Max or Balance.
With each new season we have the opportunity to readjust and find better balance in our days.
Enjoy and we will be back next week!

Each step of The Zentangle Method has an important place in the process to bring you to the focus and relaxation that is so wonderful about the practice.
In this episode, Juliette and Kellie dive into the seemingly simple step of the Corner Dots. Listen in to how these small pencil marks can be the launch pad to some time spent with intention, focus and relaxation.
We love to find the cadence and breath in our tangling sessions. Putting a little intentional focus to determine a rhythm with each tangle can enhance your practice, sense of calm and increase focus.

We look back on our favorite inspirations from our 21 Inspriations series to start the year.
21 Inspirations #21-Mistakes
The more you put into it, the more you will get out of it, even if you make mistakes along the way. We dive into a quote from author Neil Gaiman on this last episode of our 21 Inspirations Series - "Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break the rules. Leave the world more interesting for you being there."
21 Inspirations #20-The power of the word list
Take 30seconds, a minute or two to quickly brainstorm a word list. What themes do you see? What is on your mind that comes to the forefront?
21 Inspirations #19-Poetry and Hums
Actively looking to create a set of circumstances where creativity can find you can give you a regular refresh of energy. Today we discuss a quote from A.A. Milne, "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is go where they can find you."
21 Inspirations #18-Assuming
We are all guilty of making assumptions, in this episode we explore the tricky prospect of identifying one, and asking questions to learn more.
Where can you find a quiet moment in your day? Making space for silence can be a big improvement on your day.
Here is the article we reference:
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/17/style/self-care/silent-breakfast-mindfulness.html
21 Inspirations #17-Time Off
You don't need a big vacation to take a break and refresh. In fact, it is important to do so on a regular basis. The intention of taking a break, no matter how long will reap many rewards.
21 Inspirations #16-Listening
In this episode we share a quote from Will Rodgers on the benefits of listening.
21 Inspirations #15 - Sketchbooks
A regular practice of picking up a pen and enjoying the process of sketching what is in front of you is a great way to give yourself a few moments of focus, and open you up for more creative ideas.
21 Inspirations #14-Declutter Your Tech
The joy of creating in a clean, clear space doesn't have to be limited to your physical work space. In this episode we discuss cleaning up all the tech distractions in our lives.
Have you had your Vitamin Z today? In this episode we discuss this fun twist on taking care of yourself. Inspired a book mark in the book Pattern Play by CZT's Chris Letourneau and Sonya Yencer.
21 Inspirations #13-Your Song
"Someday we'll all find out that all of our songs were just little notes in a great big song." Woody Guthrie - this is a wonderful metaphor for how we are all connected in our communities and to the world.
21 Inspirations #12 Deep Breaths
Step outside today literally or figuratively step outside your routine to engage in the restorative exercise of taking deep breaths. We commonly live in a short, shallow breath practice and it is a good idea to pause for a moment to really focus on a few deep, filling breaths.
21 Inspirations #11 Randomness
Rather than saying no, to free yourself from something you don't want to do - what if you tried inviting something random into your life? A random exercise, random conversation or exploring ideas that you would not otherwise take a look at.
21 Inspirations #10 What do you have to say?
Today discuss a quote to think about "Don't try to figure out what other people want to hear from you. Figure out what you have to say. It's the one and only thing you have to offer." Barbara Kingsolver
We explore the super fun tangle: Building Boulders by CZT Bunny Wright.
