Creative Wellness
The process of creating art can boost our moods, as art and creative practices engage our senses and activate the release of pleasure-related neurotransmitters. Art is a messenger of emotions, and has the incredible benefit of improving our emotional state, as it increases self-esteem, self-worth and a sense of purpose. Creating art has been proven to contribute to improved memory and brain function.
For this event, options will be offered for Creative Wellness Workshops. You will be able to select from a variety of choices to create tangible pieces of art, each tied to an intention and with the objective of creating a mindset shift, release of a negative thought pattern or limiting belief, or identification of a new perspective or approach to a personal challenge. Your finished projects are yours to keep and take home.
Each workshop is led by a Creative Wellness Instructor, who will engage with you as you play and learn the various techniques and art methods we have arranged. These include crafting with paper, painting with watercolor and acrylic paints, using pressed and paper flowers, fluid art, paint pouring, basic embroidery, journaling, lettering, collage, string art, clay sculpture, and many more creative modalities. All necessary supplies will be provided for you, and all skill levels are welcome.
Our on-site retail shop will offer artisan made treasures, creative take-home kits for many of the workshops, and some upgraded supplies, if you find you're enjoying a particular workshop and want to make it even better.
Below are workshop titles and descriptions of each project that are planned for the conference. Our schedule will be published September 1, when you can register for these offerings using our registration app, classes are offered on a first come first served basis.
