Creative Arts Workshop
Theme: Fire in Winter
In the darkness and cold of winter, fire brings heat and life. Working with the theme of fire, we will explore how our own creative energy can illuminate and energize us.

Workshop:  This workshop offers artists and non-artists a chance to engage with a variety of art forms, including movement, dance, drawing, and poetry, both individually and as a group.   The aim is to stimulate creativity and enjoy the process of art making with a sense of play in a supportive atmosphere.   No experience with the arts is necessary.  Opportunities for breaks, meditation, journaling, and personal reflection are provided throughout the workshop.
