What We Do

Creative Purpose Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, was established to facilitate Expressive Arts activities for those who would benefit from their healing qualities. Our initial focus is on sharing our expertise in the Expressive Arts to help members of our community who could benefit from alternative healing modalities.

Therapeutic Music provides the multi-dimensional healing qualities of sound and music which are beneficial in all aspects of health and well being.  Research confirms sound and music: 

  • diminish and relieve pain by increasing endorphin levels; 
  • reduce blood pressure, heart rate and stabilize breathing; 
  • boost immune system level functioning; 
  • relieve anxiety and encourages relaxation; 
  • generate a sense of safety and well being; 

In addition, music can assist the dying in the final tasks of transition.
