In this creative and supportive group, you’ll utilize the tree as a metaphor to tell stories about one’s life. Participants are invited to think of their life in relation to the different parts of a tree, highlighting what makes them unique.
Participants can expect to go from a tree of life to a forest of life and together, weather the storms of life.
This FREE 4-week in-person art program includes:
- Exploring your roots: Reconnect with where you come from, family history and names of people who have taught you most in life.
