John Bukaty: Transforming Trauma into Art and Recovery

I think there's a solution in steps that I need to be responsible about in my story, that this is all you know.
What happens when a painter channels his tumultuous past into powerful performance art? In this episode of Dopey, hosts Dave and Chris sit down with John Bukaty, a painter and performance artist who has faced addiction and trauma head-on. John takes us on a journey from his troubled childhood to his days as a high school football player, and eventually to his life as a drug-using artist in the Colorado mountains. His story is one of resilience, creativity, and recovery.
John candidly discusses his recovery process and his thoughts on the role of psychedelics in healing. He also shares his involvement in the Park City Song Summit, where he collaborates with musicians to create art that supports charitable causes. This episode isn't just about John's personal battles; it's about how he turned his struggles into a source of inspiration and advocacy. Tune in for a compelling narrative that highlights the transformative power of art and the importance of recovery.
