About this category

The arts and creative self-expression are a powerful, nourishing and transformative mode to experience life in its many beautiful forms. Creativity & The Arts coursework provides pathways to exploring new depths within creative writing, dance, sound, music, the visual arts and vocal training and the profound effect these modalities have on the mind, body and spirit.
