The Podclass

Note: This episode is the second part of Jamie's conversation with Dr. Karlee Fellner. We strongly recommend listening to part 1 of this conversation first as some of the ideas discussed are linked to the earlier conversation (listen to part 1 here).

Jamie continues his conversation with Dr. Karlee Fellner about the intersections of culture, spirituality and well-being. They discuss the idea that everyone has the medicine they need to live a good life, and the role that the arts play in wellness for both children and adults.
