#155 Art, creativity & queer dreams with Jess Kennard

Hey friends,

welcome to Sagittarius season. I can’t believe we’re here, but what even is time anymore? To celebrate I am sending you an episode with one of the literally dreamiest Sagittariuses your way. We covered a lot of fertile ground and, amongst other things, talked about the following:

  • The intersection of queerness, creativity and spirituality
  • Daydreams as portals
  • Keeping a dream journal
  • Creative community building & healing

Jess is an expressive eco-arts therapist and facilitator who is passionate about weaving together creativity, queerness, and spirituality. They have been imagining and creating ever since they can recall and have devoted their formal learning to fiber arts, ceramics, printmaking, and “trauma-responsive” art therapy. Informally, Jess has studied herbalism and permaculture, ritual and ceremony, dance and movement, and dreamwork. After years of facilitating creative groups and community spaces in person, Jess is opening “The Sacred Third Creative Well-being” this fall to expand their offerings to a wider, virtual community.

Love,

Hi, I’m Yarrow and this is my local river. 

I’m a maker, grief companion and tarot reader living on the East coast of Scotland. 

I facilitate creative projects and gentle rituals for seasons of loss, make handmade textile magic and host the Grief Glimmers podcast. My wish is to change the culture around grief and death so that we can explore these experiences as gateways into a softer, more embodied life.
