Tending To Anger With Art (IN-PERSON)

This is a 2-hour (in-person) therapeutic art-making workshop. In this workshop, we're going to talk about and explore ways to SHOW UP for (and in) our anger ...with our art. Giving it some space, expression, and containment. Not trying to "fix" it, tamp it down, or send it away. But honouring it - with creative expression, release, grounding, transformation. Anger is not a problem ...we have a LOT of things to be legitimately angry about. Clenching it in, ignoring it, or shaming ourselves for it ...are what we want to move away from. And moving towards giving ourselves pockets of creative release, so it's not bubbling up and and causing harm to ourselves or others (imploding or exploding). We'll get curious about ways that we can use art, and creative process to work with (and through) our anger. Practice and process as resources that we can reach for when anger rises up, as it reasonably will. NO experience with art or art-making is required to attend. All materials are included. __________________________ TENDING TO ANGER WITH ART Tues October 20 5:30 - 7:30pm Sliding scale payment options __________________________ LOCATION: Hey Shauna Studio 108 - 561 Johnson Street, Victoria BC (in the Paper Box Arcade, blue & green building across the street from the main entrance to Market Square - string-light lined corridor, last door on the left).

And while I am here for any technical assistance you may need, our goal is not to focus on technical skill…but instead on curiosity.
