In the first of a three-part Talking Touched with Fire Series, creative people come together to share their reflections on the relationship between mental illness, addiction, and creativity. The event opens with a mindfulness experience led by theHolistic Life Foundation, and includes a pair of musical presentations related to his own depression by composerGeorge F. Spicka.
