The Power of Art with Rivian Butikofer

On this week’s Buddhi Babble, we sit down with lifelong artist and educator Rivian Butikover, who shares insights from over 50 years of teaching and creating art. Together we explore how making art can be one of the most grounding and restorative practices there is — a moving meditation that connects us to presence and play. Rivian reminds us that we’re all creative beings, and that taking time to access the artist within can transform how we see ourselves and the world around us. Whether it’s painting, drawing, or simply experimenting with color and texture, this conversation will inspire you to slow down, let go, and rediscover the joy of creating for its own sake.
