What happens in your brain when you create—or even simply look at—art? In this illuminating and inspiring workshop, we’ll explore the fascinating intersection of neuroscience, creativity, and self-expression. Blending science with soul, you’ll discover how engaging with art impacts brain function, emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. Through hands-on creative exploration and guided insight, we’ll dive into the basics of neuroaesthetics—how your brain responds to beauty, color, shape, and movement as well as why art-making supports emotional processing, clarity, and nervous system regulation.
