Art Rx
Art is medicine.
It is the balm you don’t realize is right at your fingertips. It is healing and restorative. And it’s about time we all took that seriously. I believe that creativity is a fundamental element to holistic well-being. And the science is now streaming in to back that belief up.
"But how do I start? What do I make?"
Well, first you have to lower the stakes. Use cheap art supplies. Don't worry about the end product. Don't try to make something to put on Instagram. Be intentional about making some ugly art.
Creative expression is your birthright, as well as a vital part of our overall wellness.
If you are having a hard time making time or space for creativity, you are not alone! We live in a busy world and technology tricks us to think that faster is better and more productivity equals more success.
But I will just say this...
We do not hear people saying at the end of their lives, "I’m so glad I was so productive!"
This is why I created Art Rx.
What is Art Rx?
A chance to reconnect with your creativity through a Pop Up Party!
What is a Creativity Pop-Up Party?
Part Social Club, part Art Party.
Think:
-
getting together with old friends
-
being introduced to new friends
-
lighthearted fun with work colleagues
-
socializing over food, drinks & art supplies
-
unwinding while learning a new creative skill
About your Facilitator
The path to wellness is different for everyone. For me, it started with art. I joined a "draw 100 days" Instagram challenge and it wasn't until a few years afterwards, that I realized it the beginning of my wellness path.
The tiny promises I kept to myself by drawing everyday-- just 5 minutes-- created a foundation of self trust, self reliance and confidence. Since those fateful 100 days, my art and writing have been focused on mental health wellness. I have become a mindfulness educator, a health & wellness coach, and an art therapy facilitator.
