Ever wondered how art can play a role in recovery? This episode of The Unruffled Podcast dives into that very question with guest Shelley Richanbach. Hosted by the dynamic duo Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas, the show brings Shelley, a certified drug and alcohol counselor and expressive arts educator from the San Francisco Bay Area, to the forefront. Shelley shares her unique journey through recovery, highlighting how expressive arts have been a pivotal part of her healing process.
Shelley isn't just talking the talk; she's walking the walk by using her expertise to guide and support women in their own recovery journeys. She opens up about her involvement in 'The Creative High', an upcoming documentary that showcases artists' stories of addiction and recovery. To build on this momentum, The Unruffled Podcast is teaming up with the production team to present 'The Creative High Inspiration Series'.
This online series, running from August 7-21, 2020, includes creative workshops and a panel discussion featuring leaders in the creative recovery community. In this heartfelt episode, Shelley also shares three items from her 'Unruffled Toolbox': practicing gratitude, engaging in daily expressive arts, and connecting with Mother Nature. These tools have not only helped her but are also practical tips for anyone on a similar path.
Whether you're newly sober or have been on this journey for a while, this episode offers valuable insights into how creativity can fuel recovery. It's a touching conversation filled with empathy, real-life experiences, and a sprinkle of humor that makes even the heavy topics feel a bit lighter. Tune in to discover how art can be more than just a hobby—it can be a lifeline.
