The impact of art on the neurobiology of stress with Dr Sará King

In this keynote presentation, listeners will receive an overview of the neurobiology of mindfulness, and how this relates to a brief history of the use of art-therapy for healing in clinical and non-clinical settings. Listeners will also be introduced to the neurobiology of viewing abstract art, as it relates to stress reduction in clinical and non-clinical settings.  Sará shares information on her work - the development of the first awareness-based educational program and study "Art and Awareness As A Catalyst For Collective Healing" being launched at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in February of 2022.  A short art-based mindfulness practice is also offered.
