Resilience Through Art: The Healing Journey (Creative Arts Workshop)
Event Actions
Our (4) week, online creative arts workshops empower participants to express themselves using art. This therapeutic program offers a safe place to communicate your thoughts, feelings, concerns, problems, hopes and dreams.
This workshop will explore the power of art as a tool for building resilience. Through self-reflection and creative expression, participants will cultivate hope, discover new ways to cope with challenges, and find strength. Art will serve as a therapeutic outlet, helping to relieve stress and foster problem-solving skills.
Each session will include creative activities facilitated by experienced staff who will offer guidance throughout the process. Participants will have opportunities to explore new perspectives, build personal resilience, and connect with others. Each session will begin with a relaxation/breathing exercise setting a calm and supportive tone for the creative journey ahead. You will gain fresh perspectives, connection and community.
This online workshop will accommodate 20 members. You must register to attend the workshop and all members must commit to attending the entire 4-week session.
*Supplies for the art projects will be mailed to you in advance.
