German neurologists find that doing art is good for the brain; it could delay or even negate age-related decline of certain brain functions. A new Italy vacation, Culterra Magica, launches to re-create self-awareness and emotional resilience through art.

Linda Naiman, Canadian pioneer of arts-based learning for business techniques, describes creativity as “the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to generate solutions.” http://www.creativityatwork.com/2014/02/17/what-is-creativity
In her professional blog, Linda noted that after one week of doing art, it didn’t take long to "de-compress" her “over-worked brain and settle into the slow rhythms of life that make Tuscany so magical.” http://www.creativityatwork.com/2015/08/20/creative-renewal-culterra-magica-under-the-tuscan-sun
