All of our online classes and workshops are mindfully designed as process-focused projects. The end products are great, but students realized the greatest benefits and satisfaction through the process of making, using tools and exploring materials.
Research shows that it’s beneficial for all of us to take a mental break from their everyday lives to focus on creating something useful with their own two hands, start to finish. It provides a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. At the same time, maintaining a creative practice contributes to a balanced life. Often, we don’t believe we have permission to stop our routine and play, creatively. At HomeRoom, it’s required.
There’s no doubt that when students become focused on their work, they can slip into FLOW, the state where time goes by without even being aware of it. It’s believed to be one of the most contented states humans can experience. The process of turning ideas into realities-causes feel-good hormones to be released in the brain. Making is an extremely beneficial activity for human beings.
