A little time to care for the people who care for others.

Working in social impact can be meaningful and emotionally demanding. I’m hosting this virtual creative wellness session to offer a little space to pause, release, and make room for something joyful. Time to take care of those who take care of others!

Join me and others doing good for a virtual guided journaling, drawing, and origami — no experience nor artistic talent required!

What to expect

Time for yourself through prompted journaling or free drawing
Connection with others working in social impact
Learning how to make origami cranes with flapping wings!

I’m also bringing my approach to facilitation into this gathering: creating a thoughtful flow with space to reflect, connect, and create. Along the way, you’ll experience a different kind of workshop, where the focus is on making time for yourself.

I’ll share creative practices I enjoy and use for my own well-being. I’m not a therapist, and this gathering is for creative exploration and connection, not therapy or mental health treatment.

Supporting The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services

Supporting survivors of domestic violence is a cause I care deeply about. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, this event is also a fundraiser for the Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services.

The Umbrella Center for Domestic Violence Services, a program of BHcare provides free, confidential support to people affected by domestic violence in Greater New Haven and the Lower Naugatuck Valley. Services include crisis support, emergency shelter, safety planning, counseling, and advocacy.

A representative from The Umbrella Center will join us to share about its mission and work.
