I Am Ready Psychology: Phenomenal

I’m Trisna, a psychologist with an interest in the wellbeing and fulfilment of artists, performers, creatives and all those who follow their passions. Phenomenal is a podcast about walking in the shoes of some exceptional people who have paved their own way in life. In this podcast, I hope to not only introduce these phenomenal people, but also give an opportunity to understand them phenomenologically – by hearing their lived experience. For more information: www.iamreadypsychology.com/podcast/ In this episode of Phenomenal I speak to independent dancer and choreographer Yumi Umiumare. At the very beginning of a range of closures in Victoria in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, we speak about healing through movement, the balance between containment and freedom, and about the urgency for us to slow down and come back to the bare essentials.
