"Creative care is…an invitation to shape the world together. For people denied the tools for world-shaping, this invitation can be a profound and life-changing act of healing.”

 

The arts aren’t this rarified, abstract thing. The arts are simply the language in which humans dream and connect to each other. The capacity for creativity burns inside all of us.
— Anne Basting

This book chronicles the story of how I came to find the power of creative care; the elements of it and how they can be infused into care relationships; and how creative care practices can help transform our care systems themselves.

I hope you find these stories both soothing and inspiring. Let your imagination soar…

— Anne
