The findings demonstrate that processes of re-imagining landscape contribute to participants\u2019 retaining significant places in the mind when physical engagement is limited. The study reveals how the activity of re-imagining landscape provokes emotions and memories that help participants connect the past with the present, and to connect their older and younger-age selves, positively to reaffirm their older age identity. The paper reflects on the intervention as a&nbsp;form of encounter with landscape whose benefits are potentially therapeutic for different groups, particularly those for whom engagement with memories may assist with processes of adaptation or transition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABSTRACT This study provides insights into how a&nbsp;participatory painting activity impacts older people\u2019s subjective wellbeing.
