Grief and Joy Workshop with Danielle Garcia

In this two-hour, audience-led workshop, participants co-create rituals for closure through diverse artistic expressions, clearing a path for joy.

Through a series of guided exercises, we will practice letting go of perfection, embracing the weight of complex feelings, and—metaphorically—burning it all down to make fertile ground for new growth.

How to Join: Sessions are held by appointment for small groups from 4/18 – 4/26. To ensure an intimate atmosphere, space is limited. Please visit the event calendar to select your preferred time slot and reserve your spot.

What to Expect

• Good Company: This is a cozy, small-group hangout guided by Danielle. Think of it as a creative laboratory for your soul.

• Choose Your Own Adventure: You decide what’s headed for the "exit door." Whether you’re letting go of a bad breakup or just a persistent kitchen appliance that never works—it’s your call.

• Zero Pressure: You share only what you want, when you want. If you’d rather keep your reflections private and just focus on the "burning it down" part, we totally get it.

• Serious Fun: We’re using the arts to shake things up. Expect to laugh, experiment, and walk away with a brand-new ritual for inviting more joy into your daily life.

• No "Artist" Card Required: If you can scribble, move, or make a mess, you’re overqualified.
