Comments for The Foundation for Art & Healing https://www.artandhealing.org/ The UnLonely Project is our Signature Initiative Mon, 29 Sep 2025 03:52:55 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 Comment on Fortaleza by Gigi H. https://www.artandhealing.org/fortaleza/#comment-3557 Mon, 29 Sep 2025 03:52:55 +0000 https://www.artandhealing.org/?p=246973#comment-3557 This film was a delight to watch! It’s a wonderful reminder that it’s never too late to learn something new and to take a chance at doing so. It’s great when a new activity can be done with or for someone else, however the greatest benefit can be in just doing so for ourselves. I loved the connection the gentleman was trying to make with the lady in the diner, however I really loved seeing the friendly connection being formed with the dance instructor which also highlighted the importance of connections being formed amongst those across different age ranges as well.

Comment on A Body Called Life by gren blackall https://www.artandhealing.org/short-film/a-body-called-life/#comment-3556 Sat, 27 Sep 2025 11:31:48 +0000 https://www.artandhealing.org/?post_type=short-film&p=261545#comment-3556 Thank you for this. It helps me remember I am part of the universe – at its largest and smallest – no more or less worthy of my place. It helps me see that actively seeking connection is the essence of living. Even life forms whose communities fit on the tip of a pin constantly reach out to touch others. They probe in the dark. They join in groups doing the same thing. No organism is truly alone, in any medium, at any scale.

Like you said, society wants us to believe only the younger generation is able to find happiness and love. This is a great video- offering a fun, comical perspective!

Comment on Fortaleza by Love Vieira https://www.artandhealing.org/fortaleza/#comment-3551 Wed, 27 Aug 2025 05:10:57 +0000 https://www.artandhealing.org/?p=246973#comment-3551 I am on a creative path of exploration as I look to find my creative voice in different genres (poetry, movement, story telling & music) and to move it from a solo practice to more of a community-based one with collaboration and support for our common humanity at its core. I really want to find a way to connect different generations and to use art as a way to open dialogue and respect and interest in one another’s differences.

Thank you so much for bringing awareness to such an important topic. You captured the hearts of the service men and of Carol. Her story, their stories. Those beautiful angels that walk beside them with joy and presence and “no judgment.” Just love. Bravo. R.I.P. Bobby and blessings and gratitude to all the service men and women everywhere. You are no forgotten. Thank you Spencer.
