What if creativity is not just an expression of imagination, but a biological necessity for brain health? In this episode of Facing Dementia, we explore the science behind creativity and why the brain cannot function optimally without movement, sensory input, and energetic flow. From the role of the hips and shoulders in supporting cognitive clarity, to the power of music, colour, and frequency in accessing memory and emotion, this conversation reframes creativity as a vital tool for healthy aging. Through mindful rituals, movement, and sensory engagement, creativity becomes a pathway to resilience, presence, and empowered living — even in the face of cognitive change.

Finding Peace and Presence in Nature – In this month’s Facing Dementia conversation, Laurin Wittig and Dr. Michelle Greenwell invite listeners to rediscover the healing power of nature. As Laurin continues her journey of empowerment following a dementia precursor diagnosis, she shares how stepping into nature — rather than simply observing it — creates profound peace and clarity.
Together, they explore how our five senses can anchor us in the present moment, how colour and the Five Element Wheel guide emotional balance, and how tea, specifically the TEAlightful blend with fireweed, vanilla, hibiscus, becomes a ritual of connection between body, mind, and spirit.
This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is not about fixing what’s broken — it’s about remembering our wholeness, in rhythm with the world around us.
