In partnership with CREATE Arts Center, Glen Echo Park is offering a series of Art & Healing workshops to promote creative expression and wellness. Art is a transformative creative outlet that has powerful effects on our emotional health and our bodies, helping us to relax and get in touch with difficult thoughts and feelings. Painting, drawing and other art forms are proven to promote health and wellness by helping us to better understand ourselves through creative exploration. Led by a licensed, Master’s level Art Therapist, participants will learn mindfulness practices like meditation and breathing exercises while engaging in art-making. Small class size is necessary for facilitating meaningful engagement with each participant. Group and individual art activities and discussions during the workshop. All supplies provided. No prior art experience necessary. More info: lisa@createartscenter.org. Minimum age 18. 2 sessions.
