12 August: Introduction to NeuroArt by Jenny Geelan

‍

NeuroArt is a form of art that helps calm the mind and body. It uses simple shapes, patterns, and colours to help you feel relaxed and focused. It’s like giving your brain a gentle, creative massage. In this session, you will explore 3 or 4 exercises that build connection, mindfulness, and playful engagement of the brain and body. These exercises can be used anytime to relax, calm and distress, all backed by science!
