Immerse yourself in a unique experience of connection and well-being with a sound bath. Through the harmonic vibrations of the monochord, voice, gong, drums, and other therapeutic instruments, we invite you to leave stress behind and enter a space of deep calm. Sound acts as a wordless guided meditation: simply lie down, breathe, and let yourself be carried by the frequencies that resonate with your body and mind. This ancient practice not only promotes relaxation but can also help balance the nervous system, improve sleep quality, and support emotional release. Whether you are already familiar with the benefits of sound or experiencing it for the first time, this journey offers a safe, welcoming, and mindful environment. This activity is part of the MUSEUMS AS SPACES OF WELL-BEING project, designed by six museums and five primary health areas in the Baix Empordà region. The initiative aims to highlight museums as spaces that contribute to public health and well-being, and to raise awareness of the importance of caring for our emotional well-being. During the weekend of 17–19 October, various activities will be held at the museums of Baix Empordà. These events are designed to empower people to prioritize self-care, offering activities across different disciplines related to art and emotions.

El Museu s’Apropa is a program of artistic activities organized by museums in the Apropa Cultura network and held in residences for older adults. The project was born in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, when the isolation of older adults living in care homes—and their limited access to cultural life—became evident. Through this project, museums bring art to the residences, organizing art workshops for seniors. The activities of El Museu s’Apropa create opportunities to elevate mood, stimulate cognitive processes, enhance interpersonal relationships, and enjoy aesthetic experiences, promoting a healthy life and good mental health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Barcelona City Council requested an emergency intervention from Apropa Cultura at four municipal care homes, using art to combat isolation, reduce sadness, and improve the mental health of the older residents.

Elderly residents of the Serrallo, aged between 75 and 92, share information about photographs that are part of their life in the neighborhood while enjoying breakfast together. This stable group of 7–9 participants socializes with one another and passes on their knowledge, which is documented for preservation. These are monthly sessions of about two hours, during which neighbors recall small moments from their past. Together, these recollections recreate the history of the Serrallo neighborhood. Participants experience emotional well-being, exercise their memory, and, while engaged and collaborative, provide detailed descriptions of the projected images.

La Dansa s’Apropa is a project by Apropa Cultura, in collaboration with the Barcelona City Council and Mercat de les Flors, that brings dance directly to senior residences in Barcelona. The initiative builds on the earlier project El Museu s’Apropa and was commissioned by the Municipal Institute of Social Services (IMSS) of Barcelona for four municipal residences: Josep Miracle, Francesc Layret, L’Onada Guinardó, and Fort Pienc. A team of choreographers and dancers — including Montse Iranzo, Claudia Solwat, Elis Genís, Toni Mira, Magdalena Garzón, Susana Pérez, Xevi Dorca, and Toni Jodar — visits these residences weekly to offer dance sessions aimed at improving mood, stimulating cognitive processes, and enhancing social connections. Participants have an average age of 85 and often face cognitive and mobility challenges.

A group of caregivers, selected by professionals from CAP Roquetes according to pre-established criteria, will participate in this weekly workshop series over three months, led by a multidisciplinary team from the CAP. The program will conclude with a special Art Therapy session, facilitated by “El Taller dels Sentits”, a Centre for Plastic Expression and Art Therapy. Art Therapy provides a therapeutic space where creative processes are used to support individuals with psychological, physical, social, or emotional challenges, while also fostering their capacities and resources. The closing session will guide participants through an internal listening exercise using clay, followed by an expansive exercise with painting to recognize and strengthen connections within the group. This experience will allow caregivers to consolidate what they have learned, gain additional tools for self-care, and nurture the sense of community and support built during the workshops.
