Two days a week I work one-to-one with some of the residents who are committed to projects that take up to one year to complete. These projects will result in Exhibitions, films, books and presentations.
Most of all, THE LIGHT was created to find the passion in the individuals, to support them in developing their talent, to develop it to a project and to work out a plan together on how to complete and show the end result. The goal – happiness and a sense of achievement, finding a purpose in life.
THE LIGHT has been connected to HOME with its 2 Theatres 5 Cinemas and Art Galleries. We, on a weekly basis visit HOME enjoying the plays and films. The Culture Club also meet up to discuss the plays, films and Exhibition’s and write reviews that are shared with HOME. The goal – to open the eyes to culture that enriches life.
‘The Porridge Party’ is our Breakfast Club. Each Monday morning, we meet up to eat porridge, yogurt, fresh fruit, berries and smoothies. A habit of a healthy breakfast can promote a healthier life style.
While out working on projects we only visit eating places that promote healthy eating and are independent. Places where we feel at home and get a sense of belonging where they remember us by name. Yes, there are these places! J We also use local transport and walk for miles while out taking photos. The Arts can help us meet major challenges, facing mental health, addiction and loneliness.
