About this episode

The episode features a conversation with Theresa Sterner about self-care practices, art, and ritual objects.

Care Chats are short, mindful conversations where we talk about what is on our hearts + minds, and share ideas about how we fill our mugs of care - how we practice taking care of ourselves AND each other. Theresa Sterner (she/her) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. She works in a wide range of media, including sculpture, installation, photography, video, ceramics, weaving and other traditional craft practices. For her most recent project, FRL Studio, she makes beeswax candles cast from natural objects, such as stones, shells and pinecones, to offer as ritual objects of devotion to the more-than-human world. We chat about magic + witchcraft, art, candle making and tarot.
