Art from Pain: A 4-Week Workshop Exploring the Role of the Arts in Chronic Pain with Dr Leah Welsh
Ohio State Primary Care Northwood-High
This is a 4 week class that will explore a wider interpretation of what is going on in the body when we experience pain that “just won’t go away.” We will start with what the frontier of western medicine says about how the nervous system interprets acute pain, and what we think is happening when that pain overstays its welcome. Then we’ll start exploring some non-pharmaceutical ways to express and work our way through the pain experience: Poety, Music, and Art.
This class will explore a little bit about why we think these modalities help us handle the experience of physical, mental, emotional pain, but most of our time will be reading, listening, and making art together, in order to experience a different aspect of how pain might shape our lives.
WHO: You! Small group work with 4-10 people interested in learning and working with themes of art in chronic pain.
WHEN: Wednesday evenings, 6-7 PM, October 21st - November 18th (No Class 11-11)
WHERE: 2231 N High Street, Columbus OH (in-person and zoom options available)
