HARP and Stakeholders in the Media
August 5, 2026
In this episode, guests Dr. Dorothy Lander and Dr. John Graham-Pole share their combined backgrounds, and how both their life’s work focused on grief. The couple go on to explain how this culminated into them founding HARP (Healing Arts, Reconciling Peoples): The People’s Press, CIC— a healing arts movement based out of Nova Scotia, Canada. Founded by Dr. Vivianne LaRiviere and co-hosted with Ian Smith, Grief Radio is a podcast about—you guessed it— grief. Their motto: Moving Forward With Hope.
