Hues in Healing 🎨

-The Weight We Carry-


An Art & Grief Workshop Series

Grief doesn't always have words. Sometimes, it is best expressed through art.

Hues in Healing is a monthly gathering where grief support meets guided art-making—a space to process loss alongside others and give your experience a shape you can hold onto.Each session brings together professional grief facilitation and hands-on creative expression. What you name in the circle, you can carry into a creative practice through different mediums of art.

No art experience needed. No two sessions are the same. Just come as you are.

You only need to share what you feel comfortable sharing.
