Join expressive arts therapist Dana Kuehn to explore the creative process! Expressive Arts is a compassionate and flexible approach to healing that blends various modalities like visual arts, movement, and music to foster self-discovery. This practice helps individuals, particularly those navigating cancer treatment, reconnect with themselves through the creative process rather than technical skill.

Try simple, guided exercises within the safe context of your WM community to experience the mindful, restorative, and emotional benefits of engaging in expressive arts.

What to bring:

• Consider investing in a blank page journal, though sheets of any paper are just fine.

• Whatever drawing implements you prefer to use; Dana recommends either Jupitearth Tempera Paint Sticks or Faber-Castell Gelato Pens for something fun and easy to use.

• For those who don’t want to draw or paint, collage with magazine or any papers is always an option.
