If your brain’s ravaged but you only have a few mins to spare, click my profile then click ‘media’ & scroll through the photos I post. I design them using neuroscientific research into the brain’s response to nature, to alleviate anxiety & lift mood when you see them #MHliferaft

🌳 Celebrating the launch of our Summer of Love season and the summer solstice, we explored the nature at YSP with a special Drawing Light workshop. Participants were inspired by Silence – Alone in a World of Wounds to create a series of works on paper, using tactile materials.
