The Embodied Vessel Podcast
Podcast hosted by artist Loren Lewis Cole exploring themes around the vital necessity of artistic practice throughout the stages of our lives.
From the conversation on depression and the 'meaning crisis', to our desire to dance a dance that only we can dance, the importance of creativity, curiosity and play are more important than they've been for some time. As we approach an age of increasing technological enmeshment and disembodied information hoarding, craft and the dexterous skillsets allow us to glimpse an ancient kinaesthetic intelligence that can completely revitalise our lives.
Art is medicine. We create art to heal, we heal to create Art.

The Embodied Vessel Podcast
The Human Body as A Guest House
Trigger warning, tender alert- this episode contains the mention of a woman I know losing her child.
................
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.
Rumi
There is no emotional experience that can't be embodied. Desirable or undesirable, the deep embodiment of being here requires our flesh tingles with life during the places our intellect wants to avoid.
We are here to experience connection, with our pain, with our bruising, our elation, confusion, tingling ecstasy. There is no feeling that can't bring us deeper into an unselfconscious experience of embodiment. Plopped in the buzzing centre of our lives and our hearts.
