Groups
Art as Integration
Join us on Monday each month at 6pm (90 minute group) at Give Rise Studio in Frederick to gather and create. Each month's gathering will be inspired by a theme (Previous themes - Crossing the Threshold, The Things We Carry). This monthly practice is a space where you can engage in the process of art. The images you create are messages from within, usually from internal spaces where words don't reach. Join us for this therapeutic art gathering where you can explore your inner world and allow your images to reflect and guide you on your journey.

Jewish Monthly Art therapy Group
This Art therapy group offers a creative, supportive space for Jewish adults to explore the emotions, experiences, and identities shaped by Jewish life today. Through art-making and guided conversation, we look at themes such as belonging, resilience, cultural continuity, safety, pride, tradition, grief and the complexity of holding multiple identities at once. Together we create a space where the feelings unique to the Jewish experience - both challenging and life-affirming - can be expressed, shared and understood. No art experience is needed; only a willingness to explore and connect.

Art Integration Group
A journey of self-exploration and healing where you can integrate your psychedelic experiences through the transformative power of art. Whether you're processing insights from Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) or other psychedelic experiences, art can provide a creative language to process, understand, and integrate your experience. In this six-session, closed group, you'll use a variety of materials to process emotions and invite your insights into your daily life. No experience with art or art therapy is required. The intention of this group is to deepen your understanding of yourself and your experience through the process of creating art.
