Paola Hostel goes to the Cinema

Paola Hostel goes to the Cinema

On this month’s outing, the residents of our Hostel in Paola enjoyed a screening of The Lion King at Eden Cinemas.

Aside from being a good means to have fun and escape our daily routine for a few hours, watching a movie can also be therapeutic.

Watching movies can encourage emotional release. Even those who often have trouble expressing their emotions might find themselves laughing or crying during a film. This release of emotions can have a cathartic effect and also make it easier for a person to become more comfortable in expressing their emotions (Mann & Chang, 2006).

Big thank you to Eden Cinemas for helping our clients make the most out of their leisure time by donating complimentary tickets.
