Healing Through Creativity with Cheryl Green & Craig Sicilia

Healing Through Creativity 
Hosted by Cheryl Green and Craig Sicilia
    
Creativity and time can heal all things.  Even though it’s been almost 10 years, the first 3 or 4 being the darkest of all.  Creativity kept me alive, kept me from letting the darkness of loss because of my disability after sustaining a brain injury.  It gave me purpose, strength and carried me through many days and months and years.  

There are many forms of creativity, and hope to have many share their arts, but some that I have worked with and all were an amazing benefit, but I had to explore many different types.  And some of them worked at different times in my journey to today.  Some of the ones I have used, have been, writing in the beginning I have written thousands of pages of material, and hope to come out with a book one day, I have 2 ready to go.  But the books will change my life and how people think of me.  Writing them not only helped me deal with the darkness I was going through but also the extreme darkness before my injury.   Then it was on to writing music, forming a band, and then performing.  And as suddenly as the music came several years later it left just as quickly.  Then banner design through graphics, writing lessons and developing curriculum for schools, support groups and many others.

Other creative things like public service project, events like brain injury camp, hoopfest teams, gaming events all of which gave me purpose.  Other forms of creativity are painting, sewing, pottery, yoga, movie making, crafts like jewelry making, poems, needle work, building things, destroying things.  All help us deal with things and heal.  All give us purpose.
