  Art Therapy - The Study and...

  Art has been an integral part of human expression for millennia, transcending language and culture to communicate thoughts, emotions, and experiences. In the realm of therapy, art serves as a transformative tool, offering individuals a unique way to process their emotions, explore their identities, and navigate life’s challenges. Art therapy bridges the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind, enabling a form of expression that words often fail to capture. 
  At its core, art therapy leverages the creative process to foster emotional healing and psychological growth. Unlike traditional talk therapy, where verbal articulation is central, art therapy focuses on the act of creation itself. This approach allows individuals to externalize their feelings, making abstract emotions tangible and, therefore, easier to understand and address. Whether through painting, drawing, sculpting, or digital media, the act of making art provides a safe and nonjudgmental space for self-reflection and exploration. 
  The power of art in therapy lies in its accessibility. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy. The emphasis is not on the aesthetic value of the work but on the process and what it reveals. For children, who may lack the vocabulary to articulate complex feelings, art therapy offers a way to communicate visually. Adults, too, find solace in the creative process, as it can unlock suppressed emotions and provide clarity in moments of confusion or distress.

  “For twelve years, others have tried to tell our story. Others have tried to put into words how two ten-year-old twins came to be called the biggest pop phenomenon in the Nordics. Now it’s our turn.” 
  Sold-out concerts, prestigious awards and screaming fans were everyday life for Marcus and Martinus for many years, but just as they were about to embark on their first world tour, everything they had built came crashing down. As the Covid-19 pandemic spread, the twin brothers found themselves isolated in their hometown, forced to face their first major crisis. While the situation gave them a rare opportunity to live a normal life, one question gnawed at them: Would their audience welcome them back — this time as adult artists? 
  For the first time, Marcus and Martinus share the darker side of growing up in the spotlight, the crash that threatened to destroy everything they had worked for, and the challenges of finding their own voices after always being seen as one half of a duo. 
  Marcus & Martinus burst onto the international music scene in 2012 and have since continued to captivate audiences with their charismatic performances. With millions of followers worldwide and over a billion streams, the Norwegian duo has sold out arenas across Scandinavia. 
  Frida Söderlund is a journalist and author.

  Christ Brings All Newness -...

  St. Irenaeus teaches that “Christ brought all newness in bringing himself.” This representative collection of the writings of Father Robert Imbelli proclaims, celebrates, and sounds the depths of the newness of Jesus Christ and the radical transformation to which Christ calls believers. Rooted in Scripture and the Fathers of the Church, these essays, reviews, and reflections explore the Christian faith’s rich liturgical, artistic, literary, and theological traditions across the centuries. At a time when Catholic theology too often risks being reduced to sociology and Christian faith and discipleship diluted to mere moralism, the author proposes a vibrant and profound mystagogic theology. In such theology, the mystery of Christ is not only notional but real, not only described but evoked. Imbelli offers a theology and vision of the Christian faith at once intellectually stimulating and deeply affective.
