Approaching (or arriving at) mid-life is a time of reflection, and can leave you questioning who you are, and potentially feeling stuck.
Designed for women in midlife, this 2 hour workshop blends creative expression with thoughtful discussion to explore identity, change, and personal growth. Simple art-making will serve as a tool for insight and self-expression, while group conversation will deepen understanding of self and shared experience. Together, we will examine how identity evolves during this stage of life in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
No art experience required. Accessible to all skill levels.
Ideal for people experiencing:
Empty-nesting
Changing relationships
Loss (of loved ones, relationship, roles)
Menopause
Uncertainty around who they are, or what they want out of their lives
Physical, cognitive, and emotional changes
Overwhelm around how to age well
