Did you know that a creative mind can mend the soul?
Research shows that creative activities:
✅ Reduce anxiety and depression symptoms
✅ Improve brain function
✅ Enhance problem-solving skills
✅ Foster a sense of accomplishment
✅ Provide a healthy emotional outlet
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to create. I couldn’t wait for the weekends when my mom would come home with the McCall magazine. Inside, I’d find Betsy—a paper cut-out doll. I would carefully cut her out and play with her until the next edition arrived. Now, almost six decades later, I still find joy in creating—whether it’s with paper, yarn, paints, or anything I can get my hands on.
Though we always crafted behind the scenes, Pausing With God Ministries has been hosting creative workshops for women and girls (ages 12+), providing a space to explore various crafts while fostering personal and professional growth.
We’ve discovered that for many crafting is more than just a hobby, it serves as a form of self-care, reducing stress, boosting mood, and enhancing brain function. Through these gatherings, participants not only create but also find encouragement, empowerment, and emotional renewal.
In today’s fast-paced world, where stress and anxiety are constant, the simple act of creating can be transformative. It allows us to disconnect from distractions, reconnect with ourselves and one another.
So, if you missed our last session, don’t worry—we have more coming up! Thanks to a grant from Clay Electric, all sessions are FREE, but space is limited.
