Description:

In this class we'll explore journaling with art. What does this mean? It can be as simple as documenting each day’s activities with art, doodling feelings, or creating pages that respond to the larger events of your life - cancer, COVID, family or friends, etc. It can be light, deep, sweet, funny, beautiful-the mission is to make a regular, creative practice of sharing and honoring yourself and your life.

We'll start with an exercise as we open up our minds and hearts, and warm up our hands for movement. Next we'll have prompts that you can visually answer with whatever materials you have in your spaces - collage, painting, drawing, stickers, etc.

This is an intentionally welcoming creative space, where there are no wrong answers, and any expression of creativity is wonderful.

What You'll Need:

• - Bring whatever art materials or medium you have on hand. Paper and pen, paint, markers, or anything else you'd like to use.
