Groups
Chakra~Women on a healing journey. Bi-weekly
We meet bi-weekly/ weekly (upon request) in person to create art together that represents a healing process. We utilize the 7 healing chakras as a metaphor for holistic healing. A new group is forming in August for approximately 7 sessions ending in December. Most mixed media materials are provided and no experience is necessary. We will begin with basic grounding exercises such as breathing/ mindfulness and optional sharing at the end. Individual counseling is recommended with the group (some exceptions apply).
