The focus of these classes is to give practical tools for managing stress and pomoting emotional resilience. Class topics range from teaching stress reduction skills to teaching how to hold multiple emotions at once, how to validate and process fear, anger and shame among other emotions. Classes also address functioning in the world, self-image, boundaries within relationships and personal worldview all with guidance on how to change, redirect or vision-cast how to alter views and emotions. All materials are provided, including but not limited to: oil pastels, colored pencils, paints, collage materials, colored paper and more.

Art for Healing classes beautifully complement traditional talk therapy. Since art making activates emotion, memory and the imagination, these art classes highlight therapeutic topics at different angles that open new ways of thinking. While art making typically activates the right brain, journaling and speaking activate the left brain. This bi-lateral stimulation is linked to the healing of trauma within the brain.

These classes are effective for both individual work with a facilitator as well as within a group environment. The weekly group class has the added healing benefit of growing and maintaining relationships with fellow participants. Additionally, seeing others' artwork and hearing their explanations multiplies participants' ideas for personal applications of the material.

One participant shared: "I came in feeling stuck & distressed and I walked out hopeful and inspired by my newly shifted perspective."

Another said: "This experience allowed me to see that we have more power over feelings than we sometimes realize, and they are often fluid and moving, much like the paint was in this exercise."

It is my complete joy to facilitate these classes, providing a space to contemplate, process and grow. I look forward to meeting you! -Samantha
