2015/2016
For nearly two years, we have been immersed in writing a new book, Connecting in the Land of Dementia: Creative Activities to Explore Together. We have reduced our speaking schedule so we could interview dozens of experts who are doing ground-breaking work with dementia and the arts, expressive therapies, and creativity. We will resume our speaking and sharing of ideas and stories after the new book comes out. Meanwhile, should you need an inspiring presentation for professional or family care partners, do let us know and we will try to accommodate you.
