We had the good fortune of connecting with Laurie Zagon and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Laurie, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
Art & Creativity for Healing facilitates the creative process while encouraging emotional healing—and these two paths often intersect when words are not adequate, and pain is too deep. The mix of artistic development and expression coupled with a creative healing model allow participants to learn a new way of communicating through color that encourages emotional breakthroughs and further enhances the therapy process. Unlike other art programs that employ a loose format of free expression, the Art4Healing curriculum contains strictly
guided exercises, conducted by trained and certified facilitators.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
We give pain a voice and meaning by providing therapeutic art workshops to support emotional healing for children, families, individuals, and military personnel using our unique Art4Healing method. These workshops and community programs offer expression, encouragement, clarity, and insight, and are held at our facility in Laguna Hills, CA, and on-site at hospitals, treatment centers, schools, military facilities, shelters, and other non-profit centers.
