These art therapy workshops are designed to promote self-expression and personal reflection through the art making process. The focus is less about what we are drawing and more about letting go, being curious, and noticing how different materials and processes make us feel. Each week, participants will be guided through different art therapy prompts that integrate art making, mindfulness, and gentle movement. No previous art experience or fancy supplies are necessary!
