Creative Courage - A Supportive Space for Women

This monthly gathering is a dynamic and empowering space for women who find inspiration and connection through creativity. Designed to nurture self-awareness, resilience, and a sense of community, Creative Courage blends educational content, group discussions, and experiential arts-based activities to support personal growth and emotional well-being.

Each session provides:

• Educational Content to explore themes like self-expression, stress management, and navigating challenges with creativity and courage.
• Group Discussions to foster connection, share experiences, and build mutual support.
• Approachable Arts Activities led by facilitators (and occasional guest artists/co-facilitators), using creative exercises such as journaling, movement, visual arts, or storytelling to deepen self-awareness and promote healing.

Therapeutic Goals:

• Cultivate self-awareness by exploring creative expression.
• Build resilience through the arts, learning tools to manage stress and embrace change.
• Strengthen community connections by fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.
• Encourage emotional regulation and self-compassion through creative practices.
• Enhance confidence in self-expression and decision-making by embracing one’s unique creative identity.

Whether you are a professional artist, a creative enthusiast, or simply someone drawn to the arts, Creative Courage offers a safe and inspiring space to explore, grow, and connect.
