Join us for a FREE art therapy group that meets once a month on the last Saturday of each month.  This month we will process using bilateral guided drawing/art expression as a means of processing trauma, stress and giving a voice to the body.

Participants will learn: 1) how to make a mask from one’s face, and 2) how mask making can be used in therapy as a powerful tool to heal from trauma, explore one’s identity, or nurture personal growth. See examples of mask making at ideas.ted.com.
