    Daily creativity of care, with Yumi Sakugawa

    My first guest is YUMI SAKUGAWA!  Yumi is a comics artist, meditator, creativity leader, and lovely human being. On my first ever podcast interview, she kept asking ME questions! Such is her curiosity and supportive nature.  Our conversation roams between our (villain) origin stories, meditation, activism, personal and collective healing, and the many forms of creativity that happen in every day life.  In each episode, I ask our guest if they have an offering for the listener, something to try themselves to explore and experience. Listen to the end to hear Yumi’s offering! = Episode Links & Resources: Yumi’s Website: https://www.yumisakugawa.com Yumi’s Instagram: https://instagram.com/yumisakugawa Yumi’s new COSMIC AFFIRMATIONS deck! https://www.yumisakugawa.com/cosmic-comfort = About the podcast Drawing Health is a podcast about the intersection of comics and health, also called Graphic Medicine.

    Practice: Listening Now

    If you’re just starting to listen to your body, it’s gonna hurt.  Why? Because your body has been trying to get your attention, crying out in pain or numbing out in helplessness. The first thing you’ll hear, when you start listening, might be aaaaaaaallll that pain at once.  It takes strength and patience to face that pain, and hear it, and feel it, and keep coming back. So this is a practice to build your strength, to start with acknowledging the pain, and to not shame yourself for how hard it all is. Get comfortable. Really, really cozy. Don’t hold back on comfort now — it’s your first resource of strength to face the discomfort of feeling. = This is the Drawing Health podcast, a resource for your wellbeing and inspiration. I’m offering you ways to connect your creativity and your body, so that your health is never at odds with your art.  Every Sunday, a new episode, alternating between graphic medicine interviews and guided audio practices. Listen, subscribe, and most of all: give feedback. Tell your stories, and experiences, by leaving a review or comment or sending an email.  What I say doesn’t matter nearly as much as what you hear, feel, and learn about yourself. Your story matters, and sharing is a gift! = Music acknowledgement Our theme music is Magic Hours by Aaron Comeau made for the Main St. Music Library.

    Why this, why now? with Tom Hart

    Why Drawing Health, or graphic medicine? Why now? Tom Hart and I have been working together for years, and as Founder and Director at SAW, Tom is the reason this podcast exists at all. What better way to start than to hear us in conversation, as we often are but with microphones this time, discussing what Drawing Health, and our passion in graphic medicine, is all about. Topics include: Can comics heal? Do I hate making comics? What if I don't understand what's happening in my body? What if I draw the feeling? Drawing, sudden death, disability, capitalism's grind, the importance of noticing our health when it's GOOD, and more. Reflection questions: What is YOUR definition of health?What would it be like for you to draw with some simple constraints?Are you interested in learning more about graphic medicine, with support? = Episode links!
