A new podcast about art & the transformative power of creative healing
We're Drawn To Heal
Drawn to Heal is a new podcast created and hosted by Jen Peer Rich that delves into the wildness of creativity and healing—an intimate exploration of the deep, intertwined, and gnarly roots that bind art and transformation. Launching in 2025, each episode is an invitation to wander into stories, conversations, and insights, all woven together to illuminate the many ways creativity is helping us heal, grow, and find our way back to ourselves.
The path of creativity is alive, it's constantly shifting, emerging, and renewing itself. This podcast honors that ever-changing flow through art, storytelling, music, and heartfelt conversations. It offers space to listen, reflect, heal, and connect with the artists that move us and the art that moves through us.
Season One highlights a collection of artists who use illustration and visual storytelling as vessels for healing. Future seasons will venture into other creative realms like writing, sculpture, collage, movement, music, ritual arts, and beyond— each celebrating the many ways art making mends, restores, and transforms.
Art as a pathway to creative transformation
Creativity is our path, healing is our journey, and this podcast is the wild expanse where these forces meet.
As I navigate my own creative wounds and possibilities, I invite you to walk alongside me on a journey towards healing, into the unknown, ever deeper into the labyrinth of self-knowing and self-healing. Whether you're an artist, an art lover, a mental health professional, or someone who doesn’t consider themselves creative but feels drawn to heal, you belong here.
This podcast is for all of us, for anyone who has ever longed to make meaning from their struggles and experiences. Together, let's explore how creativity fosters wholeness and strengthens the connection to ourselves, our Earth home, and each other.
