Workshop: Artful Balance

Join professional dancer and life coach Leslie Roybal for an immersive workshop on how to balance wellness, self-care, and your art practice. Roybal will lead participants through a series of exercises designed to help each person assess where they are in their creative endeavors. The exercises will consist of reflective writing and discussion to help attendees understand how different aspects of their life and work intersect. Attendees will come away with actionable suggestions on how to best move their artistic practice forward in ways that are personally satisfying and in alignment with their goals.

This session will be a workshop consisting of exercises led by the guest speaker. Attendees are expected to bring a notebook and writing implement. We ask that registrants be certain that they can attend this session and engage fully with their cameras on.
