Today in studio, we have comic and Aboriginal Mental Health advocate Monique Hurteau, and local singer songwriter Britt Bonshor.  Later in the program we will hear a little bit of Ranj Singh and the discriminators.

Julia Spitale

Hello and welcome to another edition of ‘The Artist Lounge’, where we congregate with local creative talent and talk about what inspires us and specifically, what perspires us, during the hotness of summer.  July and summer is in full swing and every tuesday night we have our creative campfire, and to create the atmosphere of your favourite camping trip we asked our guests not to take a shower for a couple of days and installed an outhouse on the football field.  Unfortunately the team mistook it for a tackling dummy, not good…

Marlene Swidzinski

Isabella Mori

Welcome to another edition of Sound Therapy Radio ‘Art of the Mind’. Today we chat about Social Media and what could be a better way to talk about it than in the intimate confines of the CJSF radio broadcast studio. So, a lot of people are talking social media these days. Long gone are the unidirectional onslaught of messages through commercial television, print and radio, the people now have an easy access to voice their views.

Vicky Rae

In Mental Health, how can we best use this? Is it meeting with your psychotherapist over skype? How we manage the paranoia of 13,000 followers on twitter. Could even your email inbox make your manic impulses and neuroticism even more convenient?

Well maybe there can be a purpose for all this, we discuss social media and its role in mental health in destigmatizing Mental Health.

In studio, we have Psychotherapist and Blogger Isabella Mori who is the co-founder of Mental Health Camp. Visual Artist Vicki Rae shares her story about the power of Art in dealng with her personal battles and how she is transforming that experience and collaborating with others.

As always we blend in some great musical talent in the discussion. singer songwriter Ron Janzen joins us in studio and explains to us what a Musicianary is.  Musical guest Padma also sings live and showcases the amazing creativity that can be inspired by living in a yurt.

I’m sorry Canada but this year I am finding it very difficult to celebrate your Birthday.

You likely know the reasons why, but I feel betrayed; what did we all do to deserve this. One would think that you get better with age.

I’ve known you for all my life, you’ve made mistakes in the past, but I’ve never seen this in you before. The look on your face, the evil in your eyes, the aggressiveness, the contempt, the lack of respect and dignity. However, its the anger, like a seething Pit Bull ready to attack at even a flinch of a feather. Its like I could feel your teeth plunging to the core of my heart, twisting and turning with the vengeance seemingly detached from any resemblance of me as a living being. How can I, or anyone trust you any longer? I don’t know where to start and its difficult to find the energy to do so.

How can I celebrate when there are mutual friends of ours in prison being held for unjust reasons. This looks like Martial Law! Even those who you have released are still in pain, they are traumatized, they are hurt, yet the worst part of all this is that they no longer believe in you. I see the anger in them towards you, its quite frightening. Will you even acknowledge what you have done has caused deep hurt? Our friends truly believe that they did nothing wrong. Are you choosing to sweep this under the rug and discount the emotion of your friends?

Oh Canada, what happened to the True Patriot Love? Today, I ask myself; how can I continue to stand on guard for thee?

It was a milestone event in many ways and the fact we were able to have an opportunity to give people a voice, is what makes community independent media special.
