Empowerment through Expression Workshop

Expression comes in many forms, and our ability to express is tied to our well-being. This workshop takes a holistic approach to cultivate empowerment and a sense of self-understanding through creative expression.

Facilitators will lead activities exploring our mind-body connection, relationships with others and with ourselves, and embracing the inherent wisdom of the natural world.

Students interested in this space need no previous experience or even comfort with the arts or creative expression. The power is in the process, not the product.
