Through nature walks , insect trails and stained glass, this artist seeks healing in wonder

*This made me realize I have used stained glass in the healing process. After my second divorce I dove into stained glass with all my heart. I had been creating and teaching but not with this new found energy.  It helped me realize that I was stronger than I thought.

There are so many more articles but thought these might interest you. I did end up falling down the rabbit hole of stained glass and healing and recovery- very interesting.

Do you have an stories of how stained glass helped you or someone you know heal?
