Friday 18th May, 2012 - new material
For treats-at-a-tangent, look out for 'pot luck' spots - there are currently four.Quotation of the monthI recently had the privilege of visiting one of the dementia cafes in Leeds where, seated round a very large table, individuals with dementia, their carers and volunteers were all engrossed in producing truly amazing coloured panels. The activity … involved a making process, it gave opportunity for achievement and celebration, it was emotionally expressive, all sense of time was suspended, and it had a real sense of ‘flow’, defined as an experience of integration and cohesion, as against the disintegration that tends to mark dementia. All of these contribute to a sense of wellbeing.
