The Art of Peace, with Mimi Sammis

Have you ever met someone truly unforgettable? The kind of person who lights up the world in the most magical, mystical, beautiful way. 

Their childlike wonder and great success makes you wonder if you missed the memo about another kind of life available or at least another way to do it than your current approach. You just want to soak them in and linger in their presence as long as possible. 

Get ready to spend an hour with one such light. One of my own personal mentors, spiritual teachers and favorite humans; world renowned artist and local legend Anne “Mimi” Sammis.

Mimi began her career in landscape painting and then expanded her artistic vision to include bronze sculptures full of energy and movement. Each one reveals a celebration of life.

As her artistic career advanced, so too did her spiritual life. The reverse is actually a truer statement. Mimi credits her resounding inner peace and joy to her 20+ year morning mindfulness practice reciting the “Peace Prayer of St Francis of Assisi”. 

Listen as we deep dive into her daily practices you can easily adopt. Hear how her desire to create a Tsunami of Love in the world has created endless miracles and find out why gathering weekly with other creatives (for over 20 years) was a non-negotiable she believes every artist would benefit from.

Mimi’s’ work is well known and collected throughout the world. Something she also credits to her meditation practice. Her sculpture He Has The Whole World In His Hands was commissioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury for Queen Elizabeth in honor of her Golden Jubilee in 2002 and is on permanent display at Lambeth Palace in London, England. Some of her exhibitions include the United Nations, The Hague, the Arles Museum and the American Embassy in Paris.

This week’s conversation will very much leave you with the “I’ll have what she’s having” experience. Can”t wait for you to listen.


What else you’ll discover in this episode:

  • How starting your day with intention and a prayer will change your life.
  • Legit practical tools and practices to feel more peace, joy and presence.
  • How to shift your perspective to see through the lens of love and possibility.
  • and so much more…

PEACE PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

where there is sadness, joy.


O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console,

to be understood as to understand,

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.
