How Art Heals Us

We explore how making art can ground us in the present and be a space of healing, connection, and joy. Summary: We explore how creative expression can support emotional resilience and physical healing in the face of life’s hardest moments and how simple acts of art-making— whether painting, drawing, or doodling—can offer grounding, release, and joy. This episode is made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation. Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.
