Description

How To Be Alive explores how creativity can help us alchemize our experiences so we can be more available to ourselves, each other, and all that matters. Host Carter Umhau--a therapist, artist, and writer--sits down to interview some of her favorite artists and out-of-the-box creative thinkers about how their creative practice has helped them become themselves. This podcast is founded on the belief that creativity is inherently therapeutic and is an inroad toward embodied transformation. How to Be Alive wonders out loud about how to navigate being human, by exploring the particularity of our experiences as a way to understand ourselves as a collective.
