What started as a response to the devastating fires that impacted Los Angeles has evolved into a space for the whole community to process current stressors in our lives and the state of the world.
Join us again on Saturday, October 11th, from 10am-12pm for a community art-making gathering focused on safety, connection, and healing. These open studio-style gatherings provide space to process our experiences as a community through creative expression, with licensed mental health and trained arts healing practitioners available for support. This month’s practitioners are Nicole Rademacher, ATR-BC, LMFT; Addalee Lyon, ATR-P, AMFT; and Diane Campbell, SEA Certified, Radiance Sutras Meditation Teacher.
The final 30 minutes will be dedicated to optional sharing in community. Each gathering is FREE and welcomes participants of all ages and offers a nurturing environment. Art supplies and light refreshments provided.
This will be the last convening of the year, but Art-making in Community will return in 2026.
