Express and Connect

We live in a lonely world of decreased social connections.ย  We cannot heal our ungrieved losses and unprocessed trauma alone.ย  Although humans have used art for healing since the beginning of time, the modern world has relegated the arts to children and professionals.ย  This group offers a judgement free zone to connect to other adults and to your authentic self through various artistic practices. Connecting with art helps regulate our nervous system and reduces the pressure to mask our true selves. This group is neurodivergent affirming.
No materials, skills or art prior training required.ย  You must be willing to commit to all five group sessions. Ages 18+ only.
