Drop-in: no pre-registration required

Experience the benefits of creative expression in a supportive group environment. No experience required.

Join us at our weekly open studio, each with its own theme, using a variety of art making mediums and techniques like mending, stitching, paint, collage, clay, found objects, 2d and 3d, weaving, and nature to explore what is immediate for you in the moment.

Making art together can support us to move through life’s challenges, helping us to grieve our losses, mitigate feelings of isolation and loneliness and reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety.

The sessions will be facilitated by Art Therapist Heidi Abbott, and Art Therapy Intern Farrell Elliot.  Heidi and Farell both have a love for the therapeutic, meditative, healing, and self-expressive attributes of creating together.

Everyone welcome, free, all supplies are provided.

In this series, we will learn how to meditate alone and in circle, and use the art of journaling to reflect about our experience as we go deeper into creating pauses with a mindfulness practice.In meditation, you will learn about how to be mindful in body, mind and breath and create a daily practice. Each week we will explore different aspects of meditation and enjoy the community of practicing together. We will enhance this process with journaling starting with creating your own journal (all supplies will be provided). You do not need to have any experience with either meditation or journaling. You will be welcomed into a safe and supportive environment to explore both.This series will be co-facilitated by:– Judi Malcolm, a certified Shamatha meditation i
