Workshop: Creative Processing in Community
Sunday, June 5th, 2022
10 a.m.
Welcome Center in the Museum Park
Creative Processing is a series for all ages to reflect together on big (and sometimes tough) ideas about the world and ourselves through art.
The collective weight of current events can evoke an array of emotions—from sadness to anger to apathy. Gather together in community for a workshop that includes guided group conversations with an expressive arts therapist, grounding and mindfulness exercises, and hands-on art-making projects as an outlet for processing emotions.
This workshop takes place outside at the Welcome Center in the Museum Park.
