Ride the Wave: Art + Wellness for health sufferers and caregivers
Art + wellness event for people with health concerns and caregivers
About this Event
WHAT IS IT
Living with chronic illness — or caring for someone who does — takes a toll that's hard to explain. The exhaustion. The grief. The days when your body or your bandwidth just runs out.
This 120-minute art + wellness session is for you.
We combine 🧠 evidence-based resilience tools with 🍵 a delicious and grounding tea ceremony as well as 🎨 a big, expressive painting experience — because sometimes the most healing thing you can do is slow down, make something, and connect with the present moment.
HERE'S WHAT WE DO TOGETHER:
🧠 Build real resilience — We open with journaling and learn some practical tools from CBT and ACT, specifically for navigating the chronic stress that illness and caregiving brings. You leave with frameworks, not just feelings.
🍵 Chinese tea ceremony — This is our self-care time! We will pause together with a simple tea tasting sourced from China. A rare moment to just receive something — no giving, no managing, no explaining.
🎨 Guided abstract painting — You'll work on a big 16×20 canvas with oversized brushes and a palette knife. No experience needed. Full expression welcome. This one's yours to keep.
All materials provided · Small & intimate group
👕 Wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on.
