We are excited to share the conclusion of our healing justice in music therapy conversation that was held March 30th, 2023 between your hosts (Natasha & Adenike), Marisol Norris and Nsamu Moonga, Black music therapists. We deepen the exploration from previous excerpts of this conversation on healing happening in community to look specifically into the profession of music therapy. Marisol kicks us off by diving directly into this discussion of dissonance, and the profession of music therapy's difficulty with that construct. Listeners are invited to consider how you hold dissonance, how you hold conflict in your body, how you view it in your mind, and how it comes out in your actions and choices, whether or not you're part of the music therapy community!
If these questions move you towards exploring this topic deeper in community, consider joining us for the dissonance ritual that'll be happening in August! You can learn more via our Eventbrite, which will be getting loaded up with several more events (including some informal informational sessions!) over the summer in preparation for that ritual.
One more thing to be aware of: after this episode we're probably gonna have one or two more reflections from Natasha & Adenike, and then the podcast is going to take a little break for the summer. We're going to shift our focus to the events that we've been holding in our community spaces, as well as a few drop-in events that will be open to the public. So stay tuned for all of that, to our bio-links on social media, as well as our website: www.blackcreativehealing.com!
