Mindfulness through Expressive Arts

Join us for a transformative journey of self-discovery and creative expression with our Mindfulness through Expressive Arts workshop. Designed for children, teens, and young adults who struggle with self-regulation, ADD/ADHD, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation, this 6-part course offers a multi-modal approach that engages multiple senses and helps young people develop essential life skills.

Through a series of creative tasks, participants will learn to self-regulate by developing self-awareness, introspection, mindfulness, attention, community building, listening, and witnessing. Our experienced facilitators will guide you through a range of expressive arts activities, including drawing, painting, sculpting, and music, that will allow you to tap into your inner creativity and find a sense of peace and calm.

This workshop is great for children and adolescents with hyperactivity and attention challenges, and offers a supportive and nurturing environment where you can explore your emotions and express yourself freely. Don't miss this opportunity to discover the transformative power of mindfulness and expressive arts. Register now and take the first step on your journey of self-discovery.
