This workshop offers healthcare practitioners techniques for exploration with a variety of materials and sensory engagements with the goal of improving health, well-being and functional status of older adults and persons faced with physical, cognitive and emotional health challenges. Demonstrations of techniques to generate embodied engagement in small group practice - breath-work, simple bilateral stimulation movements, voice activation, sounding exercises, and sensory stimulation. We’ll explore playful, failure free processes that harness strengths and capabilities, and boost self-esteem. A person-centered Montessori approach- choice, quality materials, environment organized for success-enables adults to find creative voice and reclaim agency.
