In this group, it is important to focus on the process of creating, and not the product of what you create.

In this space, we will engage in artistic activities to reflect on our needs and experiences using colors and creativity from our minds, bodies, and spirits for the intention of healing.

Each week we will engage in different expressive art activities using different mediums such as acrylic paint, markers, watercolors, magazines, oil pastels, and color pencils. You are not required to share your artwork but there is space given at the end of the workshop to process the artwork, activity and experience.

Throughout the workshop there will be soothing background music being played and instructions are given in the beginning and can be repeated throughout the workshop. If you are struggling with the activity the host will assist you with the workshop to help you feel more comfortable or capable of engaging with the activity.

In this group, it is important to focus on the process of creating, and not the product of what you create.

Together we will explore mindfulness, emotions, anxiety, stress, and negative thoughts in a relaxing and fun way. In this space, we will engage in artistic activities to reflect on our needs and experiences using colors and creativity from our minds, bodies, and spirits for the intention of healing.

Each week we will engage in different expressive art activities using different mediums such as acrylic paint, markers, watercolors, magazines, oil pastels, and color pencils. You are not required to share your artwork but there is space given at the end of the workshop to process the artwork, activity and experience.

Throughout the workshop there will be soothing background music being played and instructions are given in the beginning and can be repeated throughout the workshop. If you are struggling with the activity the host will assist you with the workshop to help you feel more comfortable or capable of engaging with the activity.
