Episode 5 | CREATIVITY: Everyone's an Artist

from This is The Refuge: 20th Anniversary Limited Podcast Series · host The Refuge

What if creativity isn't just for "artists"? Join Dr. Decibel in conversation with Amy Jo Nova, the Refuge's creative art coordinator, and Katie Peterson, a longtime community member who helps shape reflective spaces like Beauty Night and Blue Christmas. Discover how creativity becomes a doorway to healing: from a photographer documenting the faces of houseless neighbors, to smashing plates to release grief, to turning suburban car clutter into meaningful art. Amy Jo and Katie challenge the lie that some people "just aren't creative" and reveal how everyone—from doodling kids to busy chefs—is already an artist. This is creativity—honest, healing, and deeply human. Hosted by: Dr. Decibel Featuring: Amy Jo Nova, Creative Art Coordinator, and Katie Peterson, Community MemberProduced by: Dr. Decibel Productions Learn more at therefugeonline.org
