Art-Making As An Accessible Conduit For Healing (Amy J. Dyck)

In this second conversation with Amy J. Dyck, she shares six paths she has discovered to healing through art.  She talks about how her personal journey of using art has helped her to connect with herself and others much more deeply, and how it has helped re-build a relationship of trust and respect with herself. Amy also emphasizes the importance of imagination and creativity in finding healing and strength. Overall, this conversation explores the need for accessible forms of healing, and how art can be used as a way to help us to do so through things like a positive self connection, curiosity and setting aside judgement,  creating what we need to see, self-expression, and self-discovery.Amy J.
