The Art Programs are meant to be hands-on, down and dirty, with a wide range of materials and techniques, that also allow opportunities for skill development, social interaction, and all-around therapeutic for the mind, body, and soul.

Music is a universal language that breaks the boundaries of culture, expresses emotions, shares stories on a deeper level, and fosters creativity and uniqueness. Music is truly healing to the soul. The Music Programs are meant to be creative, expressive, fun, and interactive with instruments, karaoke, song-writing, and allow for some learning and research!

When we have free time, we can relax and sit on the couch…or we can use it for enjoyment and personal fulfillment! Leisure activities can be purposeful, can entertain, or bring a dose of satisfaction and serotonin! Leisure can encompass a wide range of pursuits such as hobbies, reading, traveling, socializing, or any activity that contributes to one’s well-being and overall quality of life. The Purposeful Leisure Program is meant to partake in and explore just that!

See, smell, hear, touch, taste—we rely on these basics every day, but there’s so much more to them! Senses experiences play a crucial role in shaping our understanding of the world, influencing emotions, and aiding in decision-making processes. Whether we need to practice, explore, or understand…our Sensory Program is individualized so every participant can enjoy, experience, and benefit in their own way.
