This week on RfRx, we are joined by creativity coach and editor Lauren Alexander. Lauren will discuss how we can use writing and art to process and compost religious trauma. Join us this week for a presentation about how creativity can help us in recovery as well as addressing some of the concerns that come with creating and possibly sharing art.
Lauren is an editor, atheist, and introverted weirdo. They work with writers and creatives to recover from perfectionism and work through deconstruction by using “ugly” art. They want authors and artists to just do the damn thing—the "damn thing" being to let go of the illusion of perfection and get their work out into the world! They're a writer and artist who focuses on making ugly things to bring playfulness into the creative practice and let go of mindset barriers.
