The healing of our bodies, relationships, and Mother Earth is the focus of the Aunties on Air Pod! Healing is hard work. It takes commitment, love for self, and support from those who care for us. It also takes the ARTS! We heal through music, literature, photography, painting, and all forms of creative expression. For thousands of years, Indigenous people from across our world have recognized the deep connection between the arts and healing. In this episode you will hear how collaboration and the arts have transformed the experiences and healing of many. You will meet our friends, Jen and Annette, both stars in the Bangor, Maine area. They both lead vibrant organizations that promote the abundance art brings to a community. The Penobscot Theater, Bangor Beautiful, and the Rock and Art Shop- all critical when discussing community healing within our territory. Both Wabanaki people and non-indigenous people living Wabanaki Territory will feel the love and commitment to community through this episode! Please sit back and take in the healing power of the ARTS! "}
