With all this talk about the teaching of contempt and religion, we thought it was time for a little relief: a little ART relief!

When I had cancer five years ago, part of the available treatment was a studio program where we created art. They kept saying, “It’s about the process, not the product.”

I can hardly even express the joy this has opened up in me.

I was amazed to learn that people who participate in the arts – art, music, dance, whatever it is for you – lower their chance of dying early by 31%! Remarkable.

Alice Walker said, “If art doesn’t make us better, what on earth is it for?”

Today, on a very special FreedHearts Podcast episode, we talk about healing with the arts.

Love, Susan
