Sunday, April 11, 11 a.m. – 1 p.m.

This 2-hour workshop will give you a taste of art therapy. Participant will express themselves through artwork and to share what the art means to them. Art therapy offers a unique opportunity to use nonverbal symbols and metaphors to communicate ideas and feelings that can be difficult to put into words. Visual images can work on many levels, and can express seemingly contradictory ideas and feelings. Many find expressing themselves in this way to be freeing and cathartic. Therapeutic art leads to insight and reinforces awareness. And it’s fun! Just creating artwork in a nurturing environment can improve self-esteem and reduce tension and stress.

You do not have to be an artist to participate in art therapy. Creative self-expression can communicate your inner self regardless of skill level or intention. Marking art, as a healing process, promotes joy, peace and relaxation.

Cost: $25
