Tyler sits down with Polly Dithmer, founder of La Luz Circles. La Luz is not art class and it is not therapy, it is a healing modality that exists in that liminal space in between these two things. Put very simply, Polly started La Luz Circles early on in the pandemic as an interdisciplinary approach to deal with hard things. With a background in both psychology and art, Polly has a unique perspective that lends itself nearly perfectly to her work. Art is cathartic and we are all artists, whether we know it or not. Polly explains that when we drop our expectations about what art “should” look like, we can access previously unchartered territories and release experiences and traumas that we have been weighing us down for our entire lives.
