Revitalize Your Brain: Spur Your Creative Muse with Paula Castner Studies reveal that writing, dancing, art, and listening to music improve brain function. Writing encourages the two hemispheres of the brain to work together, enhancing memory, productivity and stress relief. Dancing increases the brain’s ability to manage balance, encourages neuroplasticity, and strengthens muscle memory. Art raises serotonin levels which affects mood, and the “wow” factor of appreciating art trains the brain to be more hopeful. Music boosts the brain’s ability to learn and to lower and manage anxiety. Come, join us for a four-week workshop to revitalize your brain. Participants will draw, dance, listen and sing to music, and journal. Open to all ages. Please wear comfortable clothing. Thursdays, October 3, 10, 17, and 24, 2019 6:00 – 8:00 PM Thayer Memorial Library 717 Main Street Lancaster, MA |
