Caregiving & Creativity
[A Project]
The Latin root of the word emotion are e (out) and movere (move). Allowing all our emotions and feelings, the good and the bad to move freely and flow is a powerful way to heal from the effects of trauma, chronic stress and depression.
Creative expression has no bounds, especially when used to process trauma and stress.
Are creative arts a source of joy and healing for you?
The Center for Healing & Wholeness invites you to share that joy with other caregivers.
Normandale Center for Healing and Wholeness is curating a collection of writings, poetry, paintings, and drawings as a source of inspiration for caregivers. The artwork will be used in newsletters, blogs, and other communications. Any form of artistic expression is welcome and we hope for the collection to be a showcase of caregivers’ artwork that highlights the joy and sorrow of caring for a loved one.
​
Our most recent submissions were published in a Caregiver Stories booklet dedicated to caregivers and distributed at our 25th Anniversary Event.
​
If you are interested in sharing your creative expression, and need a little help to get started, there are multiple opportunities throughout the year during our Second Saturday for Caregivers to provide inspiration for creating art and expressing your feelings and emotions artistically, including workshops about legacy writing, watercolors, and poetry.
