Many of us know that the arts can be used to convey ideas, influence public opinion, and empower individuals. But what can be said about the power of art to inspire young minds and initiate the process of rebuilding communities affected by war, and the traumas that come with it? My guest today is Okurut George, a yoga, meditation, and dance instructor who is taking his knowledge and passions for dance, mental and physical health, as well as fitness across Africa to teach communities of children how to connect with their minds and bodies, and the beauty of being able to express one’s self through dance and movement. Okurut’s story is truly fascinating, and offers and intriguing perspective into the powers and importance of art and mental wellbeing. Please enjoy.
