Art & Hauora: Strengthening Wellbeing Through Creativity

This episode is about how creativity can enhance our wellbeing - and you don't have to be an artist! We welcome around the table Jason Te Mete, Ari Grant, and Jennie Halliday, who chat with host Arpége Taratoa about the power of creativity for our wellbeing. Hear about Jennie's work as an arts therapist with people who have experienced trauma and the healing power of art in cultivating acceptance. Jason Te Mete speaks on his experience with Tuatara Collective using theatre to empower rangatahi and rewrite narratives to place Māori youth as heroes in their stories. And Ari Grant discusses her coaching approach, and how she integrates creativity to help clients reconnect with their mokopuna (inner child) and explore new ways of expression. Stay to the end for tips on how you can use creativity in your daily life to enhance your own wellbeing.
