SUMMER CREATIVE CARE PRACTICES

Shifting from spring to summer for our second Creative Care Session, we had the honor of experiencing Grief & Pleasure in the Body: A Practice Session with Ekua Adisa.

Guided by Ekua’s wisdom of “using movement and sound to coax grief out of the body in ways that will free us up to experience greater pleasure and joy in our bodies” we collaboratively created two playlists - one that tends to the sad and soothing, and a second that welcomes the joyful and ecstatic.

The rhythms echo and invite us into so much of what Ekua shared with us during the session:

"Consider that loss is something that doesn't even end, so grief is something we will always be in conversation with. This means we get to decide how we allow it to take up space in our bodies."

Both playlists are collaborative, so we invite the sounds and songs you go to when in the ongoing conversation with grief.

SPRING CREATIVE CARE PRACTICES

Emerging out of our first 2021 Creative Care Session, Unlocking the Mind: A Sound + Movement Journey with Karine Fleurima, we’ve designed tools for uplifting your mental and emotional wellbeing.

You’ll find practices you can integrate into your every day as you bloom from the inside out, mindful ruminations, and a creative invitation for continued care and nourishment throughout the season.

In rhythm with this session, Karine curated a playlist that you can listen to here.

If you’d like to share any of your responses generated through this takeaway, we’d love to hear how you’re practicing care!
