⭐️ Get your free Human Design Chart https://www.miranda-mitchell.com/free-human-design-chart-video ⭐️   In this episode of the Provoking Prosperity podcast, host Miranda Mitchell sits down with acclaimed painter and muralist Myles Toland. They delve into Toland's unique artistic journey that bridges the realms of waking and dreaming, exploring themes of spiritual energy, geometry, and the human-nature connection. Based in Spokane, Washington, Toland shares insights into his creative process, the balance between inspiration and obligation, and how he navigates external pressures while staying true to his authentic voice. They also discuss the deeper, often shadowy aspects of creativity, the role of public art, and the profound impact of his works, including his series at the Beatles Ashram in India. The conversation offers a nuanced look into how art can serve as a medium for storytelling, self-expression, and fostering peace and authenticity in a disconnected world.   Miles' Bio:   Miles Toland is a painter from Santa Fe, New Mexico and currently based in Spokane, Washington. He finds an even split between making studio art and painting large scale murals around the world. His artwork explores the mysterious places we visit between sleeping and waking. Within these liminal realms he uses geometric patterns to express the spiritual energy of his subjects and their connection to the unknown. Miles is best known for his mural series at The Beatles Ashram in Rishikesh, India and for his painting featured in Season 2 of the TV show Better Call Saul.   Show Notes:    00:00 Introduction to the Provoking Prosperity Podcast 00:10 Meet Myles Toland: Bridging Waking and Dreaming 01:24 Exploring Myles' Artistic Journey 01:55 Diving into Human Design and Creativity 02:17 In-Depth Conversation with Myles Toland 03:18 Myles' Artistic Philosophy and Practices 07:18 Balancing Inspiration and Obligation 13:54 Navigating Public Art and Authenticity 24:49 The Role of Shadows in Creativity 29:14 Managing Financial Necessity and Creative Freedom 35:55 Final Thoughts and Reflections 49:04 Conclusion and Farewell   📈 How To Connect with Miles: Website: www.milestoland.com  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/milestoland   Facebook: www.facebook.com/milestoland Soundcloud: www.soundcloud.com/milestoland
