Creative Alchemy: Exploring the ways creative expression can support healing after a traumatic experience.
Podcast episodes are posted every Thursday and feature interviews, information, and discussion about the healing properties of art and creativity, especially when we are recovering from a traumatic experience like being in a cult or other high-demand situation.
Most podcasts that focus on cults are about the cult. Creative Alchemy makes a different choice; we focus on cult survivors and other resilient people, telling their stories, and talking about their creative process as it relates to healing.
Episodes are hosted by award-winning memoirist and cult survivor, Alexandra Amor.
All the episodes are listed below with the most recent at the top. Every episode comes with a transcript.
