Creative Day Away: Spirit Taking Shape

  • The Landing MN 426 3rd Ave. SE Rochester, MN 55904 (map)

We have been invited to bring our workshop, Spirit Taking Shape to The Landing MN and create a space for their guests with our Creative Day Away.

Research shows that art therapy helps reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by 73 percent. With over 50% of The Landing MN's guests struggling with mental health issues, art provides a healing outlet even outside of a therapy setting. The goal at the day center is to provide support in a variety of ways to help lift those they serve, and art has proven to be a valuable resource to their guests.

Established in November 2020, The Landing MN Day Center opened its doors as a contracted project with the City of Rochester. In 2022, 837 unique individuals made 17,807 visits. They are on track to see over 1,000 unique individuals in 2023. Within the four walls of the day center, The Landing MN team provides: Shelter from the elements, 3 meals a day, Toiletries, Clothing, Cold Weather Essentials, Free Shower Facilities, Free Laundry Facilities, On-site Medical Care, On-site Social Services.
