The Authentic Creative: expanding our capacity to feel good

Minisode: Wild and Precious Breath inspired by Mary Oliver

Siri Baruc Thornton Season 27 Episode 20

In this minisode of The Authentic Creative, we explore the wisdom of poet Mary Oliver and her invitation to slow down, pay attention, and embrace life fully. Inspired by her famous question—"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"—this episode encourages mindfulness, wonder, and presence.

What You’ll Hear:

  • The power of presence in Mary Oliver’s poetry
  • Why "attention is the beginning of devotion"
  • A guided visualization for deepening awareness
  • A journaling prompt to notice beauty in daily life

Journaling Prompt: What beauty have you witnessed today that you might have otherwise overlooked?

If this episode resonates, share your reflections, leave a review, or join my breathwork classes. Until next time—breathe deeply, notice the beauty, and embrace your wild and precious life.
