Today we explore the connections between the creative arts and mental health. Sarah talks to a very special creative leader in her life: Gwyneth Covey. Gwyneth is a singer/songwriter, runs a theatre club and is studying in her 3rd year of Music and philosophy. She is not only passionate about creative arts but also mental health.
In this episode, we explore how creativity helps us process strong emotion, ways you can put that into practice yourself, the power of putting words or sound to something you struggling to express and how music is the sound emotion.
Tune in for thoughtful ways to express emotion through creativity, why we’re at a time in the world that we need the poets, and creative tools that can help you identify with others and name what you’re experiencing. Love of wisdom and search for truth, value of beauty.
Sarah asks Gwyneth:
In your experience, what connections do you see between creative arts and mental health?
How has art helped you navigate challenges and stay well in your own life?
What is the impact of music, poetry, literature and other creative forms on mood and wellbeing and how can it be harnessed to promote wellness?
What is keeping you well in this season?
