Loneliness and the Arts with Alex Rodriguez

In a world facing rising loneliness, burnout, and disconnection, what if healing requires more than medicine alone?
In this episode of Connected with Jen & Shannon, we sit down with interdisciplinary researcher and artist Alex Rodriguez to explore the emerging world of social prescribing — a growing movement where doctors and healthcare systems are beginning to prescribe art, creativity, nature, and human connection as part of wellbeing.
Together, we explore:
- why loneliness has become a public health crisis
- how creativity impacts mental health and the nervous system
- why art may be more essential to healing than we realize
- the role of social cohesion, meaning-making, and connection in wellbeing
- how “peace,” healing, and community may actually be practices we learn together
This conversation lives at the intersection of science and soul, logic and intuition, individual healing and collective wellbeing.
Because maybe art isn’t “extra.”
Maybe it’s part of what makes us human.
