Description

This program focuses on exploring how creativity can assist throughout our life with a focus on overall mental health well-being as we mature and age. It explores everyday creativity and how we might shape and realise our vision for a life well lived and the role creativity can play in this.

Everyday creativity is about personal creativity and is central to our way of life. It’s often expressed as little-c creativity. In thinking about everyday creativity as a creative advantage, this can provide enormous potential for originality, adaptation and improvisation.

Everyday creativity is not about the trivia of life. It’s about things that might lead to a discovery from where a more important accomplishment can grow. In pursuing a creative life every day, we can explore new possibilities and self-expression as a way of being, and experimentation as a style of existing.

It’s where we see the relevance of Abraham Maslow’s self-actualisation model of creativity and the development of self, which he believed helps us to grow and develop as human beings.

It also explores at length a more ‘hands-on’ experience through art practices that enable us to express ourselves creatively. There’s been a growth in studies that quantify the mental health and overall well-being benefits of creative practices. Engaging in creative activities has been attributed to improving rates of depression, reducing the body’s response to stress, assisting with cognitive decline, boosting the immune system to an increase in happiness. Learn how.
