THE NEUROARTS PLAYBOOK: A 30-Day Creative Path to Elevate Your Health & Well-Being is a transformative workbook designed to guide readers through a month-long journey of enhancing their mental, emotional, and physical well-being through the power of neuroarts. The book draws on evidence-based research to demonstrate how engaging in creative activities like visual arts, music, dance, writing, and theater can positively impact brain function, reduce stress, and foster resilience.
The workbook is structured into daily activities that take just 20 minutes, making it accessible for people of all ages and backgrounds. Each day, readers will explore different forms of artistic expression, from creating visual journals to humming a favorite song, all while learning about the neuroscience behind these practices.
Britta Johanna Echtle, a certified color consultant, art and design expert, and neuroarts practitioner, brings her extensive background in art education and neuroaesthetics to this project. Her work is supported by the latest research in the field, including studies published in Frontiers in Psychology and findings from the International Arts + Mind Lab at Johns Hopkins University. The book also highlights the therapeutic benefits of creative engagement as documented by the Neuroarts Blueprint, a collaborative initiative dedicated to exploring how the arts can improve health outcomes.
Through this 30-day reset, readers will not only discover new ways to incorporate art into their daily routines but also gain valuable tools to support long-term well-being. By the end of the program, participants will have cultivated a deeper connection with their creative selves, developed strategies for stress management, and enhanced their overall quality of life.
THE NEUROARTS PLAYBOOK: A 30-Day Creative Path to Elevate Your Health & Well-Being is an essential guide for anyone looking to rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit through the healing power of the arts.
That one green tile
In this rhyming, melodic story, a mother tells her little girl that somewhere in the world lives another little girl who looks just like her. This propels her daughter into a journey of the imagination, where she visits locales from Spain to Japan, visualizing this other person in her familiar surroundings. From page to page, the little girl explores the possibilities in her head:
I think each night she wishes upon a star,
Or finds pictures in billowy clouds from afar.
At the end of the story, readers are reminded that for all our similarities, each one is unique. And for all our differences, we share the same sky.
Children and adults alike will return to this delightful story over and over again as they admire the captivating hand-crafted collages and learn a beautiful lesson about unity and diversity.
