HAGOMEL OFFERS FREE VIRTUAL EXPRESSIVE ARTS WORKSHOPS TO L.A. WILDFIRE SURVIVORS
HaGomel Community is offering eight weeks of free virtual workshops for adult survivors of the recent Los Angeles wildfires. Healing Through Creative Practices is scheduled to happen on Zoom Saturdays, Feb. 22 - April 12, 9:30-10:30 a.m. The series will be facilitated by Social-Emotional-Arts certified and trauma-healing poet Kate Burns, in partnership with Anastasia Knight, Master’s of Art Therapy and Counseling.??
HaGomel’s Healing Through Creative Practices workshops were created with the intention to hold space for the difficult emotions that arise in the aftermath of such widespread devastation. Participants will be guided to explore the different stages of grief they may be experiencing, and encouraged to approach their emotions, thoughts and feelings with greater compassion, grace and acceptance.
These workshops have been designed to require minimal materials, in most cases, nothing more than paper and a pen or pencil. Artistic or creative backgrounds are not necessary. All that is needed is a willingness to show up honestly, authentically, and with the self-compassion needed to start a healing journey.
Each workshop will be unique, and registration is open for the individual dates on Eventbrite. Public registration link: https://tinyurl.com/ypfh3h93

We’ll examine what we might be holding onto, what we might want to create space for, and what we might benefit from releasing in this healing session of self-exploration, mindfulness, and resilience-building through art making.
?
Thursday, February 27 | 5:00 to 6:00 pm Pacific Time (PT) as part of HOPE for LA
This online session offers a safe and nurturing space to rebuild from within as we reconnect with our inner strength and resilience through guided movement, mindfulness, and creative expression.
