About the event
The therapeutic benefits of creating art are numerous and can include increased self-confidence and mindfulness, as well as nervous system regulation and stress reduction.
This class is not intended to be a replacement for therapy. Therapy with a licensed practicioner can be truly healing and certainly life-changing, and I highly recommend it. In fact, I even have some names of some remarkable therapists if you're looking! For me, though, the combination of a fantastic therapist with a regular practice of art and writing has been immeasurably beneficial and life-giving.
Feel free to BYOB and snacks if you'd like.
