Grief Dialogues: Out of Grief Comes Art Podcast Series Elizabeth Coplan

This week’s episode focuses on the power of music and sound! Renee Benmeleh, a multicultural vocalist/composer/instrumentalist, founded Sound Nourishment where she leads workshops and events using mindfulness practices, vocal and movement games, and improvised melody/rhythm games. Having found refuge through music and sound to work through her own grief, Renee works lovingly with others who are deep in grief and emotion, and looking to express themselves. 
Listen in to hear this incredible story of personal transformation. Renee loosens Halle up with some vocal exercises, shares a snippet of one of her upcoming singles, and gives us all a breakdown of the science behind sound.

What a powerful way to start a Wednesday morning...
This episode, the Grief Dialogues duo Elizabeth Coplan and Halle Williams speak with Henry "Hank" Greenspan, a phenomenal playwright, actor, and psychologist (University of Michigan, emeritus) whose work has focused on survivors of genocide. His plays have been produced for radio on NPR and at more than three hundred stage venues worldwide. 
Today's grief topic: Genocide. Where (and how) does one even begin to wrapping their heads around this massive level of grief? Hank walks listeners through various perspectives, including those of survivor caretakers, and how grief often carries through generations. 
Hank is also a master of creative expression, which is exactly why he has been featured on the Grief Dialogues podcast. His plays and publications manage to capture and translate grief in a unique way, transporting the audience to feel the grief in real time, challenging stigmas and assumptions, and igniting a spark of community and passion within their souls.
