Description

Three workshops that focus on art therapy to help process grief, offer hope, and reflection for healing. Our workshops are designed to give you tools to aide and alleviate the emotions of suffering. Our commonality unites us & together through art we gain understanding of our human condition. March 12: Workshop 1 - Grief, processing our grief is a common human condition. In this session we will share experiences and focus our energies into creating mandalas, traditional eastern Indian symbols as a vehicle to process our grief. March 19: Workshop 2 - Hope, in this session we explore far east prayer flags to create our own set of prayer flags with intentions of hope. March 26: Workshop 3 - Healing, we will take this session to reflect on our experiences and emotions using words and visual symbols to create personal visual journals. Each workshop is a one hour session. Join us for each session or just one or two! This event is a partnership event between VOCA (Village of Chester Arts) and the Chester Presbyterian Church. Seating is limited to 12 people with COVID safety precautions and procedures in place. This is a free event with a suggested $5 donation at the door to help us continue to fund events. If seating is full and you are still interested in attending, please sign up for the waitlist. If needed, extra days for workshops will be added at a later date to help ensure everyone who wants to is able to participate.
