Creative Mindfulness: Exercising your Creative Muscle (On-stage)
Saturday, October 14 – 10:30
Sunday, October 15 – 11:30Creativity is not just the ability to wield a paintbrush but a state of mind that requires cultivation and nourishment. This method, developed by Barbara Grace of the School of Modern Psychology in Australia, is not just theory. It is a lens to view life problems and inspire growth and change, being demonstrated through over 30 years of practical applications with people from all walks of life. Nancy will share how the keys of creative mindfulness became the link between her work as art therapist and Pilates/movement teacher and how a simple exercise can open a door to your own personal transformation.
