How powerful a medicine are the creative arts? Join us for a therapeutic and thought-provoking afternoon as we delve into the discussion of arts, therapy and healing through a series of concerts and talks. The afternoon starts off with an interactive music segment by Sarawak-based world music band At Adau.

Ms Gurpreet Kaur Kalsi, a licensed practicing music therapist from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Ms Lim Kar Gee a practicing therapist from Kuala Lumpur, Ms Dian Handayani, art therapist from Singapore General Hospital’s Eating Disorder Unit and Ms Lama Majaj of Red Pencil Singapore forms the panel.
