In this episode, we explore how creative expression helps us process and navigate loss in a meaningful way. Dr. Jan hosts special guest Christine Hiester, a spiritual director and grief companion, and the creator/teacher of a new class offered by The Metta Center, Translating Our Grief: Creativity as a Language for Exploring Experiences of Loss.* Christine is a musician and self-taught artist who has guided creative and contemplative workshops and retreats for 15 years.
Topics of discussion include:
-Why we might want to tap into our creativity when we are grieving or while in mourning
-Why creativity be more effective than other methods of catharsis
-What forms of creative expression are helpful
-Why you don't need to be an artist to be creative
- Why words have limits that other creative languages move beyond
-How the languages of color, shape, form, movement, sound, and imagery, each employ a unique vocabulary of expression for our grief and pain
-How each of us can begin to tap into our unique creativity to better express our feelings of grief and loss
