Join us on a journey of self-discovery and emotional growth with our upcoming GWEN Workshop: The Art of Emotional Wellness, featuring the talented artist and Expressive Arts facilitator Yolanda Grier. This healing workshop is designed to promote emotional wellness through the power of creative expression.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to explore various artistic mediums, including painting, drawing, and collage, as tools for processing and communicating their feelings. Yolanda will expertly guide attendees through exercises and techniques, unlocking their creativity and fostering a deeper connection with their emotions.
