"Tune in for a deep conversation about creativity, psychology, and artistic growth!"

What roles do we take on in life, and how do they shape our creative expression? In this episode of Jung at Harp, Deborah Henson-Conant and Kathleen Wiley explore the concept of Roles—one of the core principles in the Strings of Passion framework. They discuss how roles function in music, psychology, and personal growth, helping artists understand their creative identity.

Each conversation in this series focuses on one of the key principles from my "Strings of Passion" framework: Impulse, Structure, Character, Roles, Practice(s), Deconstruction, and Lift-off. These seven principles form the core of my 10-week creativity program Strings of Passion and my Salon Talk The Strings of Passion.

In this episode, they dive into:

• Roles in music and storytelling—how shifting between them unlocks new creative possibilities
• Lessons from jazz and orchestras—understanding leadership and followership in artistic collaboration
• Jungian psychology and the psyche—how different roles interact within us, shaping our artistic voice

If you’ve ever wondered how roles influence your creativity, this conversation will give you fresh insights into self-expression, improvisation, and artistic growth. Disclaimer: "There are minor audio dropouts in this episode, but the conversation remains clear and engaging"
