In this conversation, we talk about what “health” can mean when you’re a driven, creative person whose body pays the price. Colin has been re-orienting their own practice toward attunement: an everyday skill of noticing relationships, between the self, others, and the environment. 

Along the way, we also talk about scale and setting. After large commissions in large institutions, Colin found that smaller rooms often hold bigger truths. Spaces where a choir warm-up, a shared breath, or a hand-built puppet do more than a spectacle can. We explore how tech burnout led them toward physical craft and building trades, and why that grounded, embodied work can be a counterweight to today’s tendency towards an over-accelerated culture.  Learn more about Colin's work at https://colin-self.com/.

For Joon, health feels like the luxury of forgetting his body entirely — dissolving into work. For Tracy, it’s that rare feeling of being truly present and generative. Both have learned that creativity isn’t something you squeeze out through discipline alone. It requires a body willing to meet you there.

We talk about what gets sacrificed in a world designed to extract everything from you. How to protect creative practice in spaces built to compress it. And how homeopathy, rooted in listening deeply to your individual story, can help you get unstuck so you can be yourself again.

This is an important and valuable conversation, for anyone who struggles with balancing creative practice with physical and mental health in a world designed to create imbalance.

Kristina’s path to homeopathy began with her daughter’s diagnosis of severe autism at 14 months, followed by PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome). After encountering non-classical approaches to homeopathy that produced aggravations rather than healing, she discovered true classical homeopathy — and everything changed. Her daughter’s most severe symptoms resolved within the first month of working with a classically trained practitioner, revealing the profound difference between protocol-based treatment and individualized, gentle medicine: homeopathy at its most efficacious.

Now, just one month into her own practice at North Star Homeopathy, Kristina reflects on what surprised her most about being a student later in life, the complexity of homeopathic training, and the critical importance of understanding principles like the law of minimum dose. We explore why knowing when to refer patients is as important as knowing when homeopathy can help, and what it means to practice medicine that’s powerful enough to cause real effects — for better or worse.

What struck me most in our conversation was Kristina’s clarity about homeopathy’s role: it’s real medicine that works alongside other modalities, not against them. As she put it, her job as a homeopath is to work herself out of a job — to get clients into such a solid state of health that they don’t need her anymore. That’s a radically different vision from a healthcare system built on lifetime prescriptions and seven-minute appointments.

I hope this conversation offers a glimpse into what it takes to become a homeopath in 2025, and what the field might look like as it moves toward what the Homeopathy Research Institute calls “drama-free” integration: simply another option for people seeking health, accessible without roadblocks or unnecessary emotion.

Artist and Arts Leader Shaun Leonardo joins Roddy Schrock to discuss how creative practice reveals the body's intelligence and capacity for transformation. Leonardo's decade of work with incarcerated individuals and trauma survivors has led him to a radical premise: certain experiences cannot be processed through language alone. His methodology strips away narrative to reveal the essential gestures that carry our deepest truths—what he calls the "choreography of how we've learned to move in reaction to what happened to us." 

We also explore the extractive nature of arts institutions, sustainable rhythms for creative workers, and what organizational health might look like when human needs are centered. Leonardo, co-director of Socrates Sculpture Park, offers insights from both sides of the creative ecosystem. "We have to see and analyze the impact in the body. There are certain experiences that can't be articulated through verbal language." 

For those drawn to natural healing, Leonardo's approach reveals timeless principles: creating safe containers for transformation, honoring individual rhythms, and trusting the body's innate wisdom—principles that reveal why both artists and healers have always known: the body remembers what the mind cannot hold.

After a decade directing an arts nonprofit and raising money and running programs for emerging artists, Roddy Schrock made an unexpected pivot to homeopathic practice. His transition wasn't a departure from creativity but its logical extension—recognizing homeopathy as what he calls "a radical healing technology" that operates through the same principles of imagination driving all creative work.

Drawing from nearly three decades of Zen practice, Schrock examines how consciousness participates in healing in ways conventional medicine is only beginning to understand. His approach centers on "creative health"—meeting people where their artistic sensitivity intersects with their wellbeing needs.

The introduction reveals how creative people face unique health challenges that standardized medical responses often miss. Schrock's methodology honors the spaces between what we can measure and what we can only witness, trusting that healing and creativity operate through mechanisms science doesn't yet comprehend.

Today's conversation is with Zachary Small, staff reporter for the NY Times. I have been following their arts journalism since they wrote for Hyperallergic years ago. They're often the first to identify new, consequential developments in a field that thrives on change.

A little less than a year ago, they became a staff reporter at the Times – a well deserved and enlightened hire. In particular, they have been hot on the trail of the NFT "situation" (remember that) and I suspect we'll be hearing much more about art and digital tokenization over the months and years ahead.

Zach’s first book, “Token Supremacy: The Art of Finance, the Finance of Art, and the Great Crypto Crash of 2022,” will be published by Knopf in spring of this year.

So it was a pleasure to be able to speak to them for Informer.

Today's conversation is with Prem Krishnamurthy, designer, author, and educator. His multifaceted work explores the role of art as an agent of transformation at an individual, collective, and structural level. This manifests itself in books, exhibitions, images, performances, publications, systems, talks, texts, and workshops.

He is one of those thinkers and makers whose brain is spinning out ideas and reflections as fast as you can absorb them. And I appreciate so much his emphasis on the importance of embracing juxtaposition as a prerequisite not only for artistic creativity but also as a key ingredient for healthy civic life. He argues that there is no singular America, but instead a multiplicity of Americas just as there is no singular individual: we are all collections of paradox and competing interests. 

We also talk about the ways in which the world will forever be hybrid, there's no going back to the old technologies. And how do we take what we learned from the "zoomacene" (his word) and build that into the ways in which we come together now.

This conversation, and it was very much a conversation more an interview, was a joy. And I hope you find it to be inspiring and nourishing as well.

If you are an artist, or someone who cares about the health and wellbeing of the arts in the United States, I think you will find this conversation to be both insightful and inspirational. There's only one Ruby and I am honored to be able to work with her through my directorship at Eyebeam, where she serves on the board. It was a pleasure to dig into the shifts in the culture since the meltdown of the NEA in the 90's to the current version of the culture wars we are experiencing now from her perspective, as an arts executive since the 80's. As she finalizes a new archive and website of her work and the artists that she has engaged with, this was a fine moment to capture conversations that we typically have offline.

What does it mean to have a body that moves in three dimensional space in our current time? How do cultural institutions better relate to the public in a way that takes into consideration the massage changes in technology over the last three years? Can relating to the other than human beings help us learn how to be better partners to the planet? These are the types of questions London-based choreographer and dancer Sara Wookey dives into. She is one of the most interesting thinkers on the relationship of bodies and material space and how post-modern dance can open windows into more rational ways of understanding our bodies in space and, as she always points out, time.

As she says, "we look back on the effects of the pandemic on the way that we choreograph ourselves in social interactions since the pandemic. We've had to raise our awareness of our three dimensional space." These days she is spending a lot of her time helping museums and other cultural organizations think through how they can take a more creative approach to engaging publics that are re-thinking their relationship to the material in the post-covid age.

I spoke to Sara last fall so some time has passed and you'll notice our references to the season feel anomalous, unless you're in the southern hemisphere. But I'm glad that's the case because everything is shifting so quickly at the moment, it is sometimes helpful to get a snapshot of where things were at even just 5 months ago in order to gain some footing as to where we are now.

My friend, the designer and artist, Mushon Zer-Aviv was in town a few months ago so we sat down to catch up. Having worked in open, values-driven design in tech for the last two decades, Mushon goes deep into what he sees as being the mistakes of the early internet and how we can avoid them in the future. His thoughtfulness is always optimistic: as he says, he is a designer so he wants to design! He points to the contradictions inherent in our tendency to offload "ethics into infrastucture" and the kind of return of the tech bros singing the same song with web3. This is a wide-ranging conversation that points to so many of the current challenges while showing new paths to the future.
