Let's Start with Art: Exploring Healing through Creativity is a five-week creative healing workshop series that provides survivors of interpersonal violence an outlet for self-care, self-reflection, and self-expression through arts, crafts, and other creative mediums. Through the five weeks, we will explore healing qualities of drawing, journaling, button-making, collaging, jewelry-making, embroidery, and candle-making.

Each week the workshop series will consist of a group check in and check out, some encouraging words/poems, and a guide through different art techniques and writing prompts to further self care. In community, participants will be able to explore creative healing in this five-week workshop series and will come out empowered with another healing tool for their healing toolkit.

Let's Start with Art: Exploring Healing through Creativity is a limited time workshop series that will be held during Spring quarter. The first workshop will start on Monday, April 15th, 2024.

The workshop series will be facilitated by our CARE Healing Peer.
