About this Event

The Sarasota Performing Arts Foundation is offering a new series of Arts Wellness Workshops, designed to enhance community well-being through the power of the arts. This FREE series of one and a half hour workshops will offer our community a much-needed space to relax, rejuvenate, and manage stress, all while exploring creative self-care practices.

Led by skilled Teaching Artists, the workshops will introduce participants to a variety of arts-based wellness techniques, including sound baths and sound healing, reflective arts journaling, movement, and breathing exercises. These sessions not only provide relaxation but also empower individuals to adopt tools for ongoing mental and emotional wellness. The workshops are open to all, offering an exploration of new wellness practices. No prior experience is needed, and all materials are provided.



Available Workshops:



No Rules Art Journaling - Offered by Kat Sjogren

Reflect and engage as you explore multi-media art. This art-form is accessible to everyone, and encourages creative expression and conversations. Participants in this workshop will explore working with a variety of art materials and papers (including vintage papers).



Becoming Picasso - Offered by Maria Schaedler-Luera

This workshop offers a transformative experience, empowering participants to expand their capacity to know and understand themselves. Through a series of engaging exercises inspired by theater directors Boal and Stanislavski, as well as ancient wisdom from the Yoga Sutras, participants will actively explore and challenge their thoughts, uncovering the ones that masquerade as facts and significantly influence their behaviors. By taking an inventory of their consciousness, examining their intelligence, outer mind, senses, and ego, participants will break free from habitual thinking patterns and step into the vast space of infinite possibilities in the present moment. This workshop brings together a wealth of knowledge and expertise. Tap into your inner Picassos, discovering your unique creative potential and embarking on a personal journey of self-discovery and transformation.



Music for Healing - Offered by María Albán

An interactive experience exploring various world instruments and sounds, such as singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, steel drums, world percussion, and voice. The program is conducted in three phases: 1. Educate participants about the principles of sound therapy, its benefits, and how to integrate sound healing into daily life—discovering their why. 2. Healing Sound Bath allows the participants to experience meditation and a relaxing environment. (Facilitator plays the instruments) 3. Allow the participants to play the instrument, recognizing their synchronization with the energy and compatibility of the instruments.



Free Your Mind - Offered by Maria Schaedler-Luera

A series of experiential and self-reflective exercises inspired by techniques of Rainbow of Desire, created by Brazilian activist and director Augusto Boal. In this monthly offering participants will be supported in learning to identify and transform the internal voices that block them from achieving their goals. This personal growth and self-empowerment technique offers opportunities to gain greater insights and clarity into our own personal stories of oppression while giving us the motivation to break cycles and take steps towards creating change in our lives. No theater experience necessary.



Breathe Move Create - Offered by Jessica McHugh

Join us for an immersive class, where the power of deep breathing, yoga, and artistic expression come together to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. This unique experience begins with guided breathing practices to cultivate awareness and energy, followed by a dynamic yoga session designed to open your body and heart.

As you flow through movements, you'll connect deeper with your breath, paving the way for a creative exploration. In the last portion of the class, unleash your imagination with an art activity that encourages self-expression and mindfulness. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a curious beginner, this space welcomes all!

Step off your mat feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and connected to your unique creative essence!
