HEALING THROUGH THE ARTS

Much of what we know about our history comes to us through records made through the ages by artists.

People have always sought a means of artistic expression...

• Cave paintings have described battles or hunts.
• Songs and stories told around the fire created legends.
• Using whatever materials were at hand, people found ways to make music.
• People made their bowls and clothing beautiful with decoration.
• The stage offered opportunity for political satire and the goings on of the times.

People did not paint a picture or make an instrument to provide a record for history, but because:

• It made them happy.
• It was a way to have fun with other people young and old.
• It made them forget about their troubles.

The arts can do the same thing for you! Join a workshop with others who have chronic pain or tension and anxiety.

Begin to explore the fun of:

• Putting color on paper
• Writing a rhyme or bit of poetry
• Making something tactile that pleases you

See if this doesn't help you to forget your troubles! Let the arts help you to explore what gives you and others pleasure, and how you can realize a life with less pain.

Workshops will be planned for four to six people and geared to their particular needs.
