SUMMARY:Expressing the Earth - Film Event
DESCRIPTION:  \nhttp://creativerenfrewshire.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WhatsApp-Video-2026-05-21-at-06.35.35.mp4\nA poetic and thought-provoking documentary\, that invites a quiet reimagining of our place in the world  through geology\, art\, and environment \nA poetic and thought-provoking documentary\, this powerful debut feature film by Glenda Rome invites us to reimagine our connection to place\, grounded in the poetry of the land itself. \nAlong rugged coastlines\, ancient forests and into the geological bedrock of Scotland’s wild places\, Expressing the Earth embarks on a cinematic journey into Geopoetics – the philosophy developed by the late Scottish poet-thinker Kenneth White\, which seeks a deeper connection between the mind\, culture and the living world. \n \nThrough breathtaking cinematography\, the film follows the creative lives of six individuals\, their reflections\, practices and paths bringing geopoetics to life – blurring the lines between disciplines to offer a deeper\, more intuitive relationship – a fusion of geology\, language and creative thought. \nExpressing the Earth invites us to look again at our relationship with the planet – and to rediscover the creative dialogue between human perception and the Earth. \nwww.expressingtheearth.com / www.geopoetics.org.uk / www.creativerenfrewshire.com \n

SUMMARY:Healing Arts Scotland: Renfrewshire Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Creative Renfrewshire hosts a one-day CPD event for artists\, health\, social-care\, and community professionals to share practice. \n\n\nCreative Renfrewshire hosts a one-day CPD event bringing together artists\, health\, social-care\, and community professionals to explore how creative practice enhances mental health and wellbeing. \nFeaturing keynote provocations\, workshops\, networking\, sharing practical models and lived experience. The event demonstrates arts’ role in reducing isolation\, fostering cross-sector collaboration\, and working creatively to support healthier communities. \nIf you are an arts worker\, artist\, carer or community professional this is for you! \n\n\nBreakdown of the day:\nProvocations\n10:30 – 11:30\nHow do we evaluate the success of arts-based wellbeing initiatives without reducing a profoundly personal\, emotional experience into cold\, quantitative data? \nDiscussion points\n1. Does framing art purely as a “medicine” or a therapeutic outcome strip it of its intrinsic joy? \n2. ⁠Art is often a luxury\, yet it is profoundly vital for marginalized or isolated groups. How can communities dismantle traditional gallery and theatre barriers to ensure “Creative Health” is genuinely available to everyone? \n\n\nWorkshops\n11:30 – 12:15\nSewing2gether All Nations is an award-winning\, grassroots community charity based in Paisley\, Scotland\, that supports refugees and asylum seekers. The organization uses textile upcycling\, sewing workshops\, and community events to help “New Scots” practice English\, learn life skills\, combat isolation\, and build friendships. \nor\nSaira Acosta Diaz is an artist\, printmaker\, and wellness tutor who facilitates art\, creativity\, and therapeutic wellbeing workshops. Saira’s current project is helping menopausal women through process art. \n12:15 – 13:15\nSinging for wellbeing :Daniela Hathaway runs highly popular Singing for Wellbeing and health workshops across Renfrewshire and the wider West of Scotland. Her inclusive\, feel-good sessions are designed to boost mood\, build social connections\, and even support respiratory and cognitive health. \nor\nKaren Herbison is a creative facilitator\, playwright\, actor\, director\, and children’s author with a 25-year background in social care with the arts\, she delivers community-focused performance projects\, creative writing workshops\, and theatrical productions. We’re going to dip our toes into ‘creative writing’ (yes\, I know that can fill folk with “Aw\, naw! Ah cannae write!” dread) but gently\, with no pressure … we’ll see how\, by using simple words we can to tap into creativity\, support anyone to create a written piece\, to even be part of a sharing performance and to nudge open the doors out on a path to even deep-rooted dreams. \n\n
