EcoCreativity – October 12th, 2024

Presented by: Emily Lichtenberg , Art Therapy Graduate Student Intern Do you identify as a creative person and nature lover? This eco-art therapy group explores the relationship between creative expression and our connection to the more-than-human world. From discussing and learning how to use natural materials for art-making to creating art inspired by or about nature, we will co-create a nature-based creative experience to address eco-related concerns such as cultivating reciprocity with the more-than-human world, coping with eco-anxiety & eco-grief, and how to build a more sustainable creative practice in harmony with nature.

Presented by: Emily Lichtenberg , Art Therapy Graduate Student Intern Are you someone who practices polyamory or non-monogamy, or are curious/questioning about alternative relationship structures?

Mindful Threads, Stitched Together: Building community and a sense of self through fiber art

This is a bring your own project open group that meets every other Wednesday 6:30 - 8pm. The focus will be on strengthening your sense of self and building community with whatever project you bring. No fiber art skills will be taught in these sessions, you will be working independently on whatever you bring.  The space is most conducive to smaller DRY fiber art projects like: knitting, crochet, embroidery, cross stitch, hand spinning, macrame, mending, hand sewing or beading, small handheld loom weaving. There is minimal table space so lap projects are a plus! We will have some minimal supplies like scissors, scrap yarn & thread, sewing and tapestry needles in case they’re needed, please come prepared with everything you need to work on your project.
