ECO-ARTS PERFORMANCE / WORKSHOPS
Boost Confidence! DE-Stress! Feel Positive! Find Direction!
Course Summary
Sol Haven are delighted to launch our new Eco Arts Project thanks to the support of the Northamptonshire Community Foundations.
The In Contact workshops, beginning in September will focus on nature and the five senses and will include themes relating to wood, air, water, earth and the human body. The public will be invited to come and work with Elizabeth to produce a series of prints from natural materials. They will sit together, and discuss the issues we all face with climate change and what can still be done to address them in a
considered and fruitful way.
Artist Elizabeth Tomos says “I am really delighted to have been selected as the artist for this
project. Sol Haven does amazing work and I am really looking forward to being able to use my
artistic practice to support them, as well as to broaden and deepen climate change-related work
in the local area. Huge thanks to Tamsyn for project managing and Sammuel for his support
already in manifesting this project.”

Nature Therapy
Spending time in nature has been found to help with mental health problems including anxiety and depression. For example, research into ecotherapy (a type of formal treatment which involves doing activities outside in nature) has shown it can help with mild to moderate depression. This might be due to combining regular physical activity and social contact with being outside in nature.
