Podcast Overview

"The opposite of depression is EXPRESSION" - Dr. Edith Eger ARTISTS RISING is about RISING UP through the discovery and re-discovery of our creativity. It is about healing and transformation through the cultivation of creativity and through creating thoughts and emotions that will be the canvas, the foundation...of our masterpiece, our best life. I believe everyone is creative, we are born that way, but we forget, and we conform and get covered up. Creativity is a recovery process. It's the road home we are all searching for. Stepping into the flow of creativity is stepping into healing, and it's stepping into an encounter with the most sacred version of your truest self… it's connecting with the divine and most powerful life force that exists. Created with community, storytelling and wholehearted artistic development in mind, singer-songwriter (and recovering classical musician) JennyRebecca Ronning, sits down with people who inspire her and teaches on topics she wished she would have known more about as a younger artist - specifically things we don't tend to learn in art schools and music conservatories like mental and emotional health, how to cultivate creativity and how to invite people along on your creative journey and turn your passion into a business or a community, if that is what you desire. No matter what stage of life you are in - whether you are a seasoned artist or just beginning to tap into your creativity - we all need reminding about how to step into that flow...how to realize that place as our home, and how to navigate the blocks and resistance that try to keep us disconnected.

Choosing Love in a Fear-Saturated World: How to Stay Connected to Your Heart When Everything is Screaming Danger

<p dir="ltr">Welcome to Season 6 of the Artists Rising Podcast!<br /> <br /> Before we begin today, I want to take a moment to share why this podcast is evolving — and really, why it's returning to something that's been in my heart for a long time.</p> <p dir="ltr">This past fall, we traveled to Lesvos, Greece, and volunteered at a refugee camp there. And while we were there, I led somatic singing workshops for Afghan women.</p> <p dir="ltr">Sitting in those rooms — with women who had lost homes, countries, family members, certainty — something in me shifted.</p> <p dir="ltr">Because what I witnessed, again and again, was this: expression is not a luxury. It's a lifeline.</p> <p dir="ltr">These women didn't come in calling themselves artists. They came in as human beings carrying unimaginable weight. And through breath, sound, and song, I watched nervous systems soften. I watched shoulders drop. I watched people come back into their bodies — and back into connection.</p> <p dir="ltr">That experience was a turning point for me. It clarified something I've known for a long time: Artists Rising was never just about art.</p> <p dir="ltr">It's always been about wholeness.</p> <p dir="ltr">It's always been about helping people live from love instead of fear — whether that expression takes the form of a song, a painting, a business, a classroom, or simply the way you show up in your life.</p> <p dir="ltr">Since then, this winter, as we've been on concert tour, I've also been offering workshops along the way — at universities, with students and faculty, and with organizations working directly with refugees. And everywhere I go, I'm hearing the same need echoed back to me.</p> <p dir="ltr">Especially right now — with everything happening in the world — we all need tools. Tools to regulate our nervous systems. Tools to come back into our bodies. Tools to choose love when fear is loud.</p> <p dir="ltr">So moving forward, Artists Rising will continue to serve artists with a capital A — those of you creating careers, projects, and lives through your art.</p> <p dir="ltr">And it will also serve anyone who is willing to see their life as a creative act.</p> <p dir="ltr">We'll share practices, stories, and conversations that support both — because at the end of the day, the work is the same.</p> <p dir="ltr">This is about remembering that you are an artist.<br /> That your life is your canvas.<br /> And that learning to live in love is the most important creative practice there is.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">TODAY'S EPISODE is about <strong>Choosing Love in a Fear-Saturated World:</strong> How to stay tender and connected to your heart when everything is screaming danger. </p> <p dir="ltr">If you'd like to listen to the bonus episode today about surrender you can find it here:<br /> <a title="The Artists Rising Patreon" href= "https://www.patreon.com/JennyRebecca">The Artists Rising Patreon -</a> <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/JennyRebecca">www.patreon.com/JennyRebecca</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">If you want more tools for regulating the nervous system, check out <a href= "https://www.artistsrisingco.com/programs">The Somatic Singing Starter Kit at www.ArtistsRisingCo.com.</a></p> <p> </p>

What is Artists Rising?

"The opposite of depression is EXPRESSION" - Dr. Edith Eger

ARTISTS RISING is about RISING UP through the discovery and re-discovery of our creativity. It is about healing and transformation through the cultivation of creativity and through creating thoughts and emotions that will be the canvas, the foundation...of our masterpiece, our best life. I believe everyone is creative, we are born that way, but we forget, and we conform and get covered up. Creativity is a recovery process. It's the road home we are all searching for. Stepping into the flow of creativity is stepping into healing, and it's stepping into an encounter with the most sacred version of your truest self… it's connecting with the divine and most powerful life force that exists.

Created with community, storytelling and wholehearted artistic development in mind, singer-songwriter (and recovering classical musician) JennyRebecca Ronning, sits down with people who inspire her and teaches on topics she wished she would have known more about as a younger artist - specifically things we don't tend to learn in art schools and music conservatories like mental and emotional health, how to cultivate creativity and how to invite people along on your creative journey and turn your passion into a business or a community, if that is what you desire.

No matter what stage of life you are in - whether you are a seasoned artist or just beginning to tap into your creativity - we all need reminding about how to step into that flow...how to realize that place as our home, and how to navigate the blocks and resistance that try to keep us disconnected.
