Book Spotlight: Your Brain on Art by Susan Magsamen & Ivy Ross

Have you ever wondered how art can heal your mind?

Your Brain on Art explores the science behind how creativity and art transform our brains and our lives. This fascinating book explains how activities like painting, music, and just being around art can boost mental health, reduce stress, and help us heal from trauma. The research described in this book inspires our mission to help people find strength and healing through creative experiences.

At Crescent Moon Center, we see this in action every day. Through our experiential arts and equine-assisted learning workshops, participants use creativity and connection to overcome life challenges like stress, trauma, and addiction. 

If you’re curious about the incredible ways art can change your life, we highly recommend this book! Learn more about the science that shapes our work and maybe even spark your own creativity.
