Thank you to everyone who stopped by and made art with us at the Kulay ng Buhay arts booth for Quezon City's 80th Foundation Anniversary! Here, we learned about the vision for the arts in the city. We’re excited to see the vision come to life. Expressive arts has the capacity to not only heal, but also help sustain and grow a thriving community, too. The Kulay ng Buhay arts booth has come together through the collaboration of UP Center for Women and Gender Studies, Expressive Arts Philippines Network, MAGIS Creative Spaces, Art Ventures and Advocacy Network (ART VAN) Rotary Club of Quezon City, I-Draw: Initiative for Disability Rights and Welfare, Daloy Dance Company, BXTRA Philippines, Resikleta, and Kayumanggear.

Why are the expressive arts helpful for mental health? Because you need to appreciate the process. Central to the expressive arts is ‘poiesis’: learning by making. This journey of making is as long as you need it to be for you to get to know how appreciation for the process feels like. In your mind, your body, your spirit. And in that journey, the treasure to be found is something that’s been yours all along: the capacity to shape not just the art in front of you, but your own life, too. - ⠀ Learn more about the expressive arts for mental health, social impact, and personal wellbeing at our upcoming workshop and forum, Duyan. 🌿 #EXAPHDuyan #expressivearts #expressiveartsph #expressiveartstherapy #mentalhealthmonth #worldmentalhealthmonth

Grateful for the opportunity to hold space with this tribe ✨ —————— Repost from @shetalksasia: We ended I Matter with a movement and healing session with @magiscreative's Joey Atayde! ⚡ She made everyone in the room stretch, walk around, do breathing exercises and practice mindfulness with words like peace, courage, love. ✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us! Let's keep the discussion going and help end the stigma talking about mental health.

Why are the expressive arts helpful for mental health? Because you need a space to rest, and the expressive arts can help carve that space. It helps you stimulate the vagus nerve, which allows you to help your body in its response to stress. ⠀ - ⠀ Learn more about the expressive arts for mental health, social impact, and personal wellbeing at our upcoming workshop and forum, Duyan. 🌿 #EXAPHDuyan #expressivearts #expressiveartsph #expressiveartstherapy #mentalhealthmonth

We're grateful to have been part of the audience at last Saturday's #MentalWellness forum held at De La Salle Santiago Zobel School, organised by Families in Art and Culture (FIAT). Speakers Dr. Cornelio Banaag Jr, Dr. Robert Buenaventura, Ms. Alya Honasan, and Ms. Sheila Suntay all offered poignant and powerful perspectives on the importance of mental health awareness, particularly in context of the family unit. What a way to start #MentalHealthWeek.

“The arts will always allow us to look deeply into our soul and discover what truly brings her alive. Soul-listening: that is the heart of the expressive arts. By dancing and making art, we release the soul’s imaginative capacity from its captivity. The work of the soul is imagining. To imagine is to be.” From the diocese of Cebu and now assigned in Peru, Fr. Loreto Jaque creates safe spaces for his local community through the expressive arts. Movement and rhythm foster connection and the return to self, an important part of the healing process in his work with survivors of trauma and other adverse life experiences, as well as journeying with individuals and groups on the path of wellbeing. Join us with Fr. Loreto at Duyan: cradling diversity through the expressive arts 🌿 (link in bio) #EXAPHDuyan #expressiveartsph #exaphilippines #expressiveartstherapy #expressivearts
