Holding EMOTIONS happens in the BODY. We FREEZE in the middle.
Giving women the time and space to tell the STORY of their BODY can help them to identify THEMES and LESSONS… the what, the why, and the LOVE.
Jessi’s BIO process creates a biographical SCULPTURE, a TANGIBLE reminder that you have SURVIVED.

Dirt is Love. Dirt, jiggle, sweat and vocalizing connection bring us deep into this balmy, beautiful day in Union Square Park. Following on the heels of two notable celebrity suicides, Jessica Browne-White of DreamscapesInk meets our Lobsterbird for a conversation around depression, shadow and the emotional body. Jessi is the colorful and exuberant creator of BIO (Body Image Object), an artistic process in which women’s body stories are collected and cast into sculptures that create a healing transformation for the participants.

Your Travelogue

Jessi is a hero just because she showed up for this interview. Having dealt with depression for most of her life, her journey is teaching her how to release the stigma and overcome, instead of falling victim to ingrained patterns of isolation and shame. [6:47]
We often don’t know what to say when we see someone in a struggle with depression. But you can’t go wrong by saying, “I love you. I’m here.” [12:55]
The dark times and the shadow places are often the source of your ability to have compassion and to help people. When we realize a path that works for us, we can integrate the shadow and bring others along the healing journey with us. [15:45]
BIO – Body Image Object was formed out of Jessi’s desire to integrate her inner and outer world. She found that her inner turmoil manifested in physical ways, specifically in her body. BIO became a tangible way to release the pain and the self-recriminating judgement being frozen within the body and instead reclaim the beauty, complexity and purpose of it. [22:33]
Jessi’s BIO process begins with a conversation and ends with a biographical sculpture. During the client’s storytelling, it becomes clear which part of the body has stored the main emotions, lessons, and recurring themes. Jessi creates a ribboned cast of this part of the body, a sacred ritual object, as a reminder that there is beauty and strength in all of these things that you have experienced. [26:26]
We that have the greatest capacity for light experience the deepest darkness. Not only is it okay, but It’s GOOD. Open yourself to feel ALL of the world. Even in the shadow, there is found humor and joy. [35:25]
The Practicum! Jessi leads Lobsterbird in a practice to help move and shift energy through the emotional body. [45:45]
