Following Bliss #229

Mythologist and philosopher Joseph Campbell is perhaps best known for his suggestion that we “follow our bliss.” Today we speak with two individuals who—separately and without prompting—referenced this quote in their interviews, and described the ways in which they have attempted to do just that.  Our guests are Deirdre Nice, executive director of St. Lawrence Arts, and landscape artist Jane Dahmen. We hope they inspire you to find ways to follow your own bliss.
