Chris Kage
<p>This week my guest is Chris Kage, an artist/producer from Brooklyn New York. Through the years, Chris has primarily operated behind the scenes, as a songwriter in bands and as a backing musician, touring with the likes of Willie Nelson (and his sons Micah, Lukas) and Kris Kristofferson. In his mid-twenties, after ending up on a psychiatric ward for three days, Chris was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. But rather than be totally destroyed by this, Chris decided to turn it into a collection of songs to share with others; these songs would become his debut album 'Cycles'. Chris states that this album is about trying to emotionally communicate his truths, in a way that can support others with theirs.</p><br><p>In addition to inspiring the songs written for <em>Cycles</em>, Chris' experiences with his own mental health also led him to start <a href="https://www.soundmindlive.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u>Sound Mind Live</u></strong></a><strong><u>,</u></strong> a non-profit organization whose mission it is to create a shared space where music and mental health can coexist. </p><br><p>You can find Chris on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/chriskageofficial/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@chriskageofficial</a></p><p>Sound Mind Live - visit their website: <a href="https://www.soundmindlive.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.soundmindlive.org/</a></p><br><p><br></p><p>Feels Like Healing is a show where I talk to individuals about how they've used creativity as a way of helping them heal.</p><p>These conversations are here to show how we find comfort and solace through the act of being creative and how creativity can help us all reach a place of healing.</p><br><p>::::</p><br><p>You can connect with Feels Like Healing on Instagram / Twitter / Facebook @flhpodcast</p><p>Produced / Edited by Al Lewis</p><p>Theme music by Al Lewis</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Carly Attridge & Annie Frost Nicholson
<p>This week my guests are Carly Attridge founder of the Loss Project and Annie Frost Nicholson a multidisciplinary artist from London. Both of them have worked on projects which have focused on how we can use creative practices as a catharsis for our grief. Carly started <a href="https://www.thelossproject.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Loss Project </a>(a social enterprise focused on helping people find ways of processing grief) after she reflected on her own wellbeing struggles following various losses in her life and realised there was something lacking from what was on offer to support people.</p><br><p>Annie's own devastating loss happened in 2011 when several members of her close family died in a tragic accident. Ever since, grief has been a subject she’s explored in a myriad of ways, including a film ‘<a href="https://www.fandangoekid.com/film" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Into Your Light’</u></a>, a monthly <a href="https://sohoradiolondon.com/show/the-grief-mixtape-21-03-2022/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Grief Mixtape</u></a> that she hosted on Soho Radio and more recently, the Fandangoe Whip, Skip and the Grief Rave, which in turn, would spawn the Fandangoe Discoteca, their latest touring collaboration where bereaved people could dance out their grief.</p><br><p>For more information on </p><p>The Loss Project visit their website: <a href="https://www.thelossproject.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.thelossproject.com/</a></p><p>Annie Frost Nicholson visit her website: <a href="https://www.anniefrostnicholson.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.anniefrostnicholson.com/</a></p><br><p>Feels Like Healing is a show where I talk to individuals about how they've used creativity as a way of helping them heal.</p><p>These conversations are here to show how we find comfort and solace through the act of being creative and how creativity can help us all reach a place of healing.</p><br><p>::::</p><br><p>You can connect with Feels Like Healing on Instagram / Twitter / Facebook @flhpodcast</p><p>Produced / Edited by Al Lewis</p><p>Theme music by Al Lewis</p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
