Holistic Health Brown Bag Seminars at PSU

Holistic Health in Practice: Body Symptoms, Fulfillment, and Creativity with Katje Wagner, MS The last of a 3-part brown bag series dedicated to holistic health: an everyday way of being as we encounter the real challenges in our lives and the possibilities they contain.

Bringing Creativity to Life Thursday, Feb 11, 12-1:30pm Creativity invites us to give expression to our inner experience. Yet we often need permission and support to access our own creativity, because it can challenge our sense of identity and possibility. Together we explore the bedrock of creativity, its manifold expressions, how to wrangle with the unexpected, the body as resource and benefactor, and implications for health.
