'I was so impressed by this session! It's a genius and important idea, and the facilitators were perfect… very skilful in meeting the audience appropriately. Engaging and stimulating activity, but it didn't go beyond what was best for the group.'
Garden Senses
Where we Went
Creative Arts for Relaxation group at Braunstone Town Library and the Civic Centre
This group runs every Tuesday. It’s a supportive group that focus on providing tools to improve people’s wellbeing, mainly through practicing mindfulness through art, meditation, discussion, and other activities.
What we Took
What we Did
We shared some of our garden themed artworks and objects. We had fantastic discussions about the artwork, reactions to the piece were mixed, so that led to lots of lively debate. One group member has a sensational garden, so pictures of it were shared and appreciated. Using the artworks as inspiration, we then all tried our hand at nonsense poetry for which some of the results were worthy of Keats.
