“Caring for our Senses Through Artistic Activity” with Else Wolf, anthroposophic art therapist

  • Rose Hall, Kimberton Hills, Camphill Village 1601 Pughtown Road Phoenixville, PA, 19460 United States (map)

As most of our lives are filled with too much screen time, we may notice the effects this has on us. We tend to be overwhelmed and irritated by too many images and information. One aspect is the impact on our senses. We try unconsciously to block things out to protect ourselves. We may get too hypersensitive or rather dulled. Instead of letting our senses become gateways to a greater knowing, we blunt them in this situation of overload. Can artistic activity offer anything to this situation?

I would like to join the Carah team and offer some simple activities in order to explore color. Hopefully our senses may learn to enter into a more living experience. You don’t need to have any artistic training or Waldorf background to come to this.

Bio –

Else Wolf, born in Germany, has spent most of her 73 years in Camphill, working and living with children who have intellectual disabilities. Being a jack-of all-trades, it meant being a house parent (as well as raising her own children), a teacher of children as well as adults, and more recently (after training at the Tobias School in England) as art therapist, always doing all sorts of things on the side like puppet shows, plays, festivals.
