Rise & Release - Therapeutic Group Art

Service Description

Private Bookings Available - See booking calendar for available dates and times. Each session is approximately 2 hours. Minimum of 6 participants per session, 20 participants max. Ages 18+ We hold space for various groups to share and process emotions together in our art classroom with low-cost expressive art classes. Together, we'll allow our feelings to rise through writing prompts and discussion. Then we'll create a guided, personalized group project to as we allow the opportunity to reflect and release these emotions from our bodies with large body movements and heavy intention. Participants are welcome to share their experiences openly or process privately through the art-making process. These classes result in a sense of shared community, while producing beautiful artwork as a team. No art experience is necessary, as we will be focused on the process over the final product. ALL are welcome. This class is great for those suffering from loss, for those in emotionally draining occupations/situations, families going through significant change, or anyone looking to release some negative feelings about our current social climate or life in general. Our hope is that you'll leave the session feeling lighter and with the ability to rephrase and realign your thoughts to a more positive way of thinking. Every session is different, as it will be based on the group attending. Please bring the following with you: - Water bottle - Layered clothing if you get hot/cold easily This class is facilitated by Catalyst Founder and Director, Candy Canning (she/her), professional artist and educator with a background in psychology.
