Bringing Joy Through Art

As you would already know, we at SilVR Adventures love a good story that talks of kindness, of artistry and bringing joy to the world, especially to the world of the elderly.

This one is no different.

Benhur Helwend has, for the last 6 weeks, been exploring a new kind of performance at an aged care home on Sydney’s north shore. Depending which way you look at it, either Helwend or his audience members are behind glass. This is window therapy – a way of engaging elderly people with the arts (and a good singalong) while physical distancing restrictions are in place.

A Hug in a Mug

In the time of this pandemic, how can a daily cuppa make things better?

Well, according to Laura Seabright, a London-based teacher, she and her family have enjoyed afternoon tea every single day since the restrictions were put in place, and it has only brought them closer. 

Juggling kids and a job while under pressure from the enforced quarantine, afternoon tea with family sure sounds like an amazing way to stay connected and regroup when things feel a bit overwhelming.
