Abstract

For the last six years the author has been meeting monthly with a group of older women at a senior center in Belleville, Wisconsin, a rural community of 1500 people. The focus of the two hour “Time Out” sessions is to provide mental stimulation, including the fostering of creativity.

The subjective experiences and observations that have come from working with the Belleville Ladies gives evidence that creativity is an innate, natural, and joyful part of growing older.
