The first time I lived abroad as a teen I was very homesick.

One day, I accompanied a German friend to her art class. Her very kind teacher invited me to participate even though I wasn’t an official student in her class and my German language skills were still very basic.

She gave each of us a piece of cardboard, a set of paints, and led us outside to find random items to incorporate into our artwork.

Then, we painted.

All I remember from the process is slathering layer upon layer of paint on the cardboard. I had no idea what I was doing, as was typical in art class, but for the first time I didn’t care. Because the more I painted, the better I felt. It might sound weird but it was like the heavy feelings of homesickness I’d been carrying around flowed out of me and into the painting.

By the time I put the paintbrush down I felt lighter and freer and had renewed energy to take on the rest of my exchange year.

I was shocked. I’d never had an experience like that before!

When I mentioned this experience to Christine Martell,  the artist and teacher you may remember from the 2014 and 2015 Global Life Summits, she wasn’t shocked.

Christine knows the power of creative practice.
