ABOUT MIND BODY MEDICINE
Mind-body medicine is based on the scientific understanding of the inextricable connection among our thoughts, sensations and feelings, and our mind, body, and spirit – between ourselves and the social and natural world in which we live. CMBM’s approach to wellness is grounded in practical, evidence-based skills for self-care, nutrition, self-awareness, and group support. Mind-body skills (such as meditation, biofeedback, guided imagery, and self-expression in drawings, words, and pictures) are scientifically validated to reduce stress and restore physical and psychological health. The mind-body approach heals individual trauma and builds community-wide resilience.
ABOUT HEART ART
Heart Art practically applies art-making techniques and exercises to cultivate creativity, access intuition, activate right-brain thinking, inspire self-expression, immerse in mindfulness, and return to beginner’s mind. Creative processes mirror life processes. Life oriented themes are explored through visualisation, storytelling, writing and intuitive art-making. Heart Art is an outlet to express, reframe, transform and heal. Gain confidence in self-expression, learn to trust your intuitive voice and live a rich, full and creative life.
