Art4Healing® Workshop
Art4Healing® workshops are 2-hour experiences that teach you how to express your feelings
with color using the Art4Healing® method developed by Art & Creativity, Inc. An Art4Healing®
workshop allows participants to get in touch with inner feelings that many times words
cannot express. Our certified facilitator will lead participants through a series
of prompts as they respond by painting abstractly with acrylic colors on canvas. The
method helps participants express their feelings in a safe way by associating a color
with a feeling. Each participant takes home 3 completed paintings at the end of the
workshop. And, NO, you do not need any art experience to participate!
Make sure you arrive a few minutes early and wear comfortable clothing that you don't
mind getting a little dirty; we will supply aprons and all supplies.
This workshop is offered in partnership with KSU Counseling and Psychological Services.
Upcoming Dates:
- July Workshop: Tuesday, July 6th from 5:00 - 7:00 pm
Mindful Dance
Dancing Mindfulness is a group class that will focus on integrating breath and body.
The facilitator will begin by leading the class in some simple stretches and then
invite the participants to begin integrating their own movements to assist with cultivating
healing, mindfulness, self-awareness, building confidence and of course FUN! It is
encouraged to use a beginner's mind and no dance knowledge is required for this class.
Mary Katherine Martin, LCSW, KSU Counseling Professional, and certified Mindful Dance
Facilitator will be leading this program.
