The Healing Power of Art: What Is Healing and How Do We Know It's Happening?

What if art wasn’t just a form of expression — but a way back to ourselves?In this special workshop-style episode, we explore the healing power of art and music as a personal and collective journey. Hosted on International Women’s Day 2025, this session celebrates creativity not just as beauty, but as medicine — and as activism.We invited our listeners into a live session with three incredible musicians and a circle of participants, blending sound, silence, reflection, and storytelling to ask:🌀 What is healing?🌬️ Where do we feel it in our bodies?🎶 How do music and art help us access the emotions we can’t always name?Whether you were with us live or not, you’re invited to create space for yourself as you watch or listen — to pause, reflect, and feel. You don’t need anything special. Just your presence, and maybe a piece of paper, a pen, and a little quiet.🎼 Featuring performances by:Beatrice Roberti – an engineer, violinist, and singer passionate about the power of words and human connection.Bousso Benussi Thioune – a writer, singer, and afro-feminist described by friends as a "gentle wrecking ball" always in motion and creation.Ash Orphan – a self-taught musician whose percussive guitar and voice lead us into emotional daydreaming.Facilitated by Poppy Jaman, Arezoo Mohebpour, and Khadidja Salamah Konate, this episode is both a reflection and an invitation. Because sometimes, the path to healing begins not with words — but with sound, sensation, and shared presence.✨ Even if you weren't there, we hope you'll find a moment for yourself here..#healing #healingmusic #healingjourney #healingsounds .Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/pecan-pie/sweetness-of-the-momentLicense code: X4LVCWVIGH8WJKTNMusic from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/yeti-music/gentle-breezeLicense code: LEPXFKWCW8N0BNXP
