Craft psychology - right out in the garden

Det skal du vide

Discover Anne Kirketerp about craft psychology in the garden. What really happens in us when we sow, plant, tie bouquets or shape with our hands in the garden? Why does it feel so good - and why do we keep doing it? Join us when psychologist and Ph D Anne Kirketerp visits Haveselskabet and invites you into the world of craft psychology - with the garden as a living laboratory. Craft psychology is about what happens inside us when we create something with our hands. It is a research-based understanding of how the work of the hand - sowing, planting, tying, building or shaping - affects our brain, our emotions and our well-being. Based on research and practice, Anne Kirketerp provides new perspectives on why small, sensual actions in the garden have great importance for our well-being. You will gain insight into how repetition, materials and creating something with your hands can strengthen both calm, focus and joy of life. - Date: 1 October 2026 - Time: 19:00–21:00 - Venue: Taastrup Kulturcenter - Address: Poppel Alle 12, Taastrup, Denmark - Admission: From DKK 200
