From Expression to Empowerment: Healing Through the Arts
Join us on a transformative 8-month workshop series that explores the powerful connection between artistic expression and emotional healing. Each month features a new theme and mental health focus—ranging from grief and memory to empowerment and resilience.
Workshops meet twice a week (Tuesdays & Thursdays) and are structured into two lessons per month, with each lesson divided across two classes. Participants will engage in hands-on artmaking, reflective discussions, and creative self-discovery.
🖌️ Monthly Themes Include:
Still life drawing, landscape painting, collage & mixed media, abstract art, textile arts, mask-making, surrealist painting, installation art, photography, and visual journaling.
🧠 Mental Health Focus Areas:
Grieving, memory, inner peace, identity, emotional expression, trauma recovery, community, empowerment, and self-compassion.
