Workplace Wellness
Our workshops are designed to gently guide participants into the experience of working with curiosity and intuition through mindfulness and community art-making. Accessible, surprising, and magical art techniques will be offered for a positive experience of shared creativity. Our hope is that each participant integrates the art and mindfulness offerings into their continued wellness practice, in ways that broadcast value and connection well into the future.
Our purpose is to address burnout through art, mindfulness, and community. The workshop will support the participants’ sense of self and connection through cultivating curiosity, building trust with their intuition, and expanding into possibility.
Combining guided with open-studio style art-making, allows participants to experience flow state, what Girija Kaimal, a professor at Drexel University and a researcher in art therapy, describes as being in ”the moment and fully present (so) that you forget all sense of time and space.” This experience activates several neural “networks including relaxed reflective state, focused attention to task and sense of pleasure.” Kaimal describes these physiological shifts as “contributing to reduced stress and anxiety and improvement in mood.”
Our strengths-based approach to helping participants feel supported, emphasizes building trust with themselves and is informed and substantiated by the stories they share at the communal art table.
We’ve had the joy of hosting our art workshops with such institutions as the University of Connecticut Avery Point and the Yale School of Public Health.
Each program includes:
An online or in-person workshop led by art therapist, Briah Luckey
A mailed art kit with all the supplies each participant will need
An online course specific to the workshop, with art techniques, guided meditation, reflection questions, and an inspiration gallery
Customized art techniques based on the season and interest of the group
A heartfelt postcard exchange to cultivate community and connection after the workshop ends
Family Gatherings & Community Celebrations
We’ve had the honor to help womxn celebrate milestone birthdays and enhance connection during this time of social distancing. Supporting virtual family reunions with communal art-making sessions encouraged creativity, connection and provided an opportunity to relax into a flow state, all while sharing this experience with your loved ones. Let us create a custom gathering for you!
