Healing creativity
We hear it all the time—
“I’m not creative, art has nothing to do with me.”
If you feel this way….
don’t worry, you’re not alone! We encourage you to take a moment to explore this statement with us.
At HARP, we believe there’s a creative itch in everyone. Our movement is driven to bridge the gap between health and the arts. The way we do this is by the simple, yet powerful, act of doing.
This is what we mean:
- It’s not the painting, it’s the act of painting.
- It’s not the novel, it’s the writing.
- It’s not the sculpture, it’s the molding.
- It’s not the ‘Thank you”, it’s the action that precedes it.
The healing arts aren’t about having a tactile outcome by the end – the real magic happens in the doing. As they say, it’s not about the destination, it’s the journey of healing as you go.
