The Quiet Flame - Protecting Inner Light

There are times when the world feels cold, chaotic, or uncertain—and yet, something in us keeps glowing.

In Episode 12 of Art Therapy with MindSoul Meditations, we honor The Quiet Flame—that small, steady light inside each of us that refuses to go out. This episode invites creators to visualize how we keep our inner fire alive during difficult seasons, and how art can act as both a lantern and a shield.

What Is the “Quiet Flame”?

The Quiet Flame is the symbol of hope, warmth, and creative spirit that persists in darkness. It is the light we protect when the winds rise, the ember we nurture when the fire dims. It’s not always bright—but it’s always alive.

This open call is about expressing the resilience of your inner light—through protected flames, glowing embers, starlight breaking through clouds, or any powerful visual metaphor that reflects persistence, care, and inner power.
