The Arts and Crafts Movement

Arts and Crafts is a notorious in door driveway for the medical waterslide. Think of meditative coloring books and healing stones. Imagine therapeutic massage. The big kahuna is beading culture, there's an Eastside "Shoppe" called Blueberry Beads, located in a place called Cloudbelly Art Studio, that's like that. They have a storefront in a building with "The Behavior Spot" printed on the fence, next to a shop called 'The Lemon Tree", in a house across from a funeral home that claims to have educational products. Behavioral Therapy on one level can really be read as just a way to keep you too busy to think, if you really want to become that out and out conspiracy theorist that those psychiatric clinics have a problem with freedom of thought, be my guest, you could also just call that place an expensive waste of money and a toy store. The yoga therapy and beading therapy or art therapy subculture is real, and when you see that try not to forget that not everyone in treatment or therapy is a welfare recipient, the psychologist started out with sign ups from people with either problems (they can have been real) or just boredom, or simply looking for an alternative spiritual outlet. There's also church gossip as a theory for why people liked Alcoholics Anonymous and other therapy chat sessions.

Don't join that bead working class. It's a gateway to Buddhist enlightenment. You'll soon be chanting Hare Krishna in the San Francisco airport.
