#112 Dahlia Jarrett “Art Therapist”

Still quarantined from Radio Kingston with Ida Hakkila holding down the fort with some jams, but we sneak in an interview I did with Art Therapist and community builder, Dahlia Jarrett. She shares about her first memory of art, going to art school and her path to becoming an Art Therapist. She also helps explain the differences between being an art teacher and an art therapist and the therapeutic allianced relationship that is so vital in art therapy. She shares her love of raising two boys and gushes over them. She’s helping her oldest son Drew who’s been nominated as one of the selected students of the year in the US who is part of a fundraising competition for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. If you’d like to help out Drew and the Society you can make a donation here.

Ida also plays a brand new song by Olivier and Clare Manchon’s “new” band Ici et Là (formerly of Clare and the Reasons), called “Toute Ma Vie” which you can find on Bandcamp and purchase here. For the next month, they will be donating 50% of the proceeds to People’s Place in Kingston.

home. is our second evening-length dance-poetry piece that deeply explores our daily realities as a black, out-lesbian couple living and loving in New York. This piece goes beyond glimpses into our living; it hones in on the details of our experiences and provides grounding for the accompanying emotions.
