Creativity and the Art of Well-being Workshop
We are inviting you to celebrate a Creative Russian Christmas! This will be a family gathering with three arts activities: create beautiful fuchsia flowers from wool and silk; make a ceramic vase and join together in a celebratory Biodanza session. The work you make will be exhibited as part of the National Lottery Funded, Fuchsia Project, run by three artists for the charity Team Imagineers, so all sessions will be free of charge.
Evidence shows that creativity is the art of wellbeing and is a force for improving health, reducing stress and mitigating social inequalities. 'The Dance of Life’, Biodanza is a process which improves vitality and well-being. There are dances and exercises for co-ordination, for letting go and for relieving stress.
