Creative Space

Cohere Arts are pleased to be working with the East Suffolk & NE Essex NHS Trust in the provision of creative health options for patients living with long covid in Suffolk and Northeast Essex.

Launched in January 2022, our Creative Space programme offers valuable breathing space, relaxation and peer support. Artist practitioners lead a range of free activities designed to stimulate cognitive function, support respiratory symptoms and reduce anxiety.

New online resources - creative brain training 
Cohere Arts are pleased to have launched our first set of online resources, in the form of a Creative Space YouTube playlist. These video-based activities focus on creative brain training; bite-sized exercises that stimulate cognitive function. Choose from singing, breathing and visual arts activities that you can fit into your day when convenient and engage at your own pace.

Creative Space for young people
We have also curated another set of online activities aimed specifically at the 16-25 age group. These include poetry, creative writing, dance and gentle movement in short chapters that can be found on YouTube or TikTok.

You can also access videos from both series via our website.

Gentle - seated yoga to music - Mondays 1-2pm on Zoom
Our popular weekly Gentle class includes 45 minutes of seated yoga to music with hatha yoga instructor Imogen. As the name suggests, this is very gentle chair-based exercise and relaxation that you can tailor to suit your individual needs, delivered via Zoom.

If you are planning to access any of the above resources or activities, we strongly advise you to adapt activities for your own energy levels and mobility. Only you will know how you feel in your body on any given day. Always work within your range of comfort and rest at regular intervals.
