Mindful Creativity: Art for Reflection & Growth with DeAnna Daniel

First Session: Saturday, March 15, 3:00-4:30. Thereafter, first Saturday of every month until October (including October)

In this class, students will embark on a creative journey, using art to reflect, unwind, and explore their emotions in a supportive space. Each session begins with a short reflection on a meaningful theme —such as gratitude, resilience, or new beginnings — followed by guided creative exercises. The goal is not perfection but self expression and emotional growth through art.

Workshop fee: $120 (3 Sessions for $20 each or $25 per session.)

Materials cost $15 or see the supply list for that month. Attendees will use a variety of dry, wet, and 3D media each class to signify transformation and growth.
