In 1974, professor Shaun McNiff created the expressive therapies program. He called it ‘art-based knowing’. Expressive therapies or creative art therapies, came into existence during the Egyptian era. Neuroscience as we all understand it, is the study of the brain’s activity or impact on behavior and the flexibility of human cognition. Researchers in this field have observed the effect of calming music on one’s mental state and immune system, by increasing sustainability of the latter. So, let's try to understand the intent and effect of this ancient practise that seems to have been lost in this journey, of time.

Kathaās is a platform to showcase art as an in-built skill and encourage expressive art therapy/activities as a lifestyle, for all. To enable this we bring forth real stories from our history and in the modern world, detailed with both scientific and spiritual benefits, of expressive art.
