PODCAST

How Does Trauma Live in the Body? 

A traumatic event can literally change the way our brain functions and have unexpected physical manifestations. Psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk has been researching trauma as a clinician for about four decades and in 2014 published the bestselling book The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Treatment of Trauma. He’s been a leader in exploring treatments that bring people back into their body and help them heal after trauma, including yoga, Qigong, and neurofeedback.The executive director of Aspen Public Radio, Breeze Richardson, interviews van der Kolk at an event from Aspen Words’ 2023 Winter Words season.

SESSION

How to Beautify a City

Plants have a lot to teach us, says landscape designer Lily Kwong. “They have several hundred million years of evolution on us, and so if we look at their path of resource sharing, the balance between ecosystems and wildlife … I think there’s so many lessons.” She speaks with Erin Harkey, cultural affairs and special events commissioner for Chicago, and Kate D. Levin, lead for the arts program at Bloomberg Philanthropies. Together, they talk about the role of art in public spaces and how urban landscapes can be designed to reconnect us to nature.
