This three day intensive is an introduction of Context Oriented Arts.

CoArts form the basis of the innovative new creative mindfulness program 'Coming to Our Senses.' Coming to Our Senses was piloted with NHS staff at six health boards in Wales and showed a significant impact on measures of wellbeing for those participating. This course is for practitioners interested in learning how arts can combine with mindfulness practices to help improve our mental health. It is also the first stage of the Trainer Pathway to qualify to deliver the Coming to Our Senses course.
