In our work, teaching artists hold so much. Challenging realities of our students are often expressed through their creative work, and we may deal with secondary or vicarious trauma through our up-close witnessing of their experiences. And let's face it, the long commutes and unpredictable schedules can take their toll towards the end of the season. On top of all of that, local and international political turmoil has increased on a daily basis, resulting in chronic stress on our psyches, nervous systems, and hearts. In order to sustain our well-being, we MUST take care of our whole selves.
