Growth is scary, change is scary, it's the unknown, but it's also what makes us feel alive.
Ever wondered how creativity can mend a broken spirit? In this episode of 'Back 2 Life', DJ and broadcaster Milly Chowles sits down with the remarkable Ruby Savage. Ruby isn't just a DJ; she's an artist, recovery club facilitator, and the founder of the Artists Recovery Club. Her journey is a testament to the transformative power of art and community in overcoming addiction, trauma, and mental illness.
Ruby's career in music is impressive, having worked at Honest Jons and managed Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood record label. Yet, it's her work during lockdown that truly shines. She created the Artists Recovery Club, a 12-week course inspired by Julia Cameron's 'The Artist's Way', but with Ruby's own unique twist. This program brings people together to reconnect with their creative selves, offering a lifeline in challenging times.
Through candid and heartfelt conversations, Ruby shares how embracing imperfection and spirituality has played a crucial role in her healing process. If you're looking for inspiration on how creativity can be a powerful tool for recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
