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 looking to curate a collection of writings, poetry, paintings, and drawings as a source of inspiration for caregivers. The artwork will be used in several possible different ways. Some pieces will be made into a book dedicated to caregivers. Other pieces will find their way into our newsletters, blogs, and other communications. Any form of artistic expression is welcomed.
We hope for the collection to be a showcase of caregivers’ artwork that highlights the joy and sorrow of caring for a loved one.
There are multiple opportunities during our Second Saturday for Caregivers to create art and express your feelings and emotions artistically, including workshops about legacy writing, watercolors, and poetry.
We will be accepting submissions over the next 9 months for consideration to be published in the ways listed above throughout 2025 and beyond.
For questions or more information, contact Suzanne Klein, Communications Coordinator, at suzanne@normandalecenter.org or 952.977.9365.
