Rx for Happiness: The Creativity Cure with Drs. Carrie and Alton Barron
For years, Dr. Carrie Barron and her husband, Dr. Alton Barron, enjoyed helping people feel better through their respective careers as a psychiatrist (Carrie) and orthopedic surgeon (Alton.) However, Carrie and Alton discovered that one treatment many of their patients found essential to their recovery wasn't being prescribed in most doctor's offices: creative activity. Drs. Barron delved into the research and learned that creative action can not only alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mental and emotional afflictions, but is actually one of the keys to emotional and physical well being. In our increasingly technological world, creative activities are falling ever more by the wayside -- at a cost to our society and to ourselves. Join the Barrons as they share their do-it-yourself Creativity Cure with Host Kate Ebner on February 3 and discover what tapping into your creativity can do for you.

Parker J Palmer Addresses the State of the Heart
Like President Obama, visionary teacher, writer and thinker Parker J. Palmer is concerned with the State of our Union.

"We Shall Overcome": Remembering Folk Icon, Activist Pete Seeger in His Own Words & Songs
|
Legendary folk singer and activist Pete Seeger died at the age of 94 this week. In addition to writing songs such as "If I Had a Hammer" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," Pete also helped popularize the spiritual "We Shall Overcome," which became the anthem for the Civil Rights Movement. For Pete, music went hand in hand with his political beliefs. Pete spent much of his life working for the causes of international disarmament, civil rights and environmental preservation and much of his music became popular as protest songs. Pete's legacy reminds us of the power of music to bring people together for change and of its enduring importance to the human spirit.
