Making Art of Your Yearning and Desires
31m
Do you struggle to boldly claim your desire and yearning? Maybe you hesitate, afraid of how it will be received—worried it will feel more like a demand than an offering of your deepest heart. Do you grip onto expectations, attaching your fulfillment to something or someone outside of yourself? Have you learned to fill your own yearning, or do you outsource this power?
These fears and hesitations are not always yours alone. They can live in the nervous system, passed down through generations, reinforced by societal narratives that tell us our longing is too much, too selfish, too unattainable. But yearning is the language of the heart—it is a current of love-seeking expression. So how can you bring it into the light in a way that feels authentic, grounded, and deeply embodied?
In this 32-minute teaching from Fierce Love (Austin, 2024), John guides participants in the practice of making art with their deepest desires—liberating them from fear and conditioning so they can be expressed as pure offerings of love.
If you are ready to bring your yearning fully alive—to stop suppressing, controlling, or outsourcing your deepest desires—this teaching will give you the tools to explore longing as a sacred force. Desire is not something to fix, diminish, or control. It is something to create with, to play with, to express. This is your invitation to paint your life with the full palette of your longing and make art out of love.
