Season 2, Episode 2

Today's Guest: Nattan Hollander, LMFT, was an artist first and became a psychotherapist along the way. He made art as a child in Israel, where he grew up, and later moved to the US to train in art and get his fine arts degree at CalArts in California. He was living in a Zen Center during that time, where he spent many hours meditating and learned to cook great soups for Zen retreats with a woman who soon became his wife. He earned his MA at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a school that emphasizes care of the soul as being central to mental health. This aligned with his own sensibilities as an artist. For Nattan, art and spirituality are inseparable. When he works with artists as a therapist, he treats their creative life as sacred.

SHOW TOPICS
  • Wrestling with creativity and making within an institutional space
  • Reconnecting with creation through writing an experiential thesis centered around meditation and imagination
  • The importance of treating a client’s creative life as sacred and helping them find value in creation in a society that doesn’t always lift it up
  • How lacking opportunity for expression and creativity can be a matter of life and death
