Dear Los Angeles Creative Community,

In the aftermath of the devastating wildfires that ravaged beloved neighborhoods in our city, a beacon of light continues to be the outpouring of support for all those affected by this tragedy.?

?

Our team at is honored to be a part of this extraordinary support effort, and to serve our resilient community during what will continue to be a highly-challenging time. To that end, we invite you to join us for a special, weekly series of our online HOPE sessions——that aims to support Angelenos through the power of social emotional arts:

THIS Thursday, February 13 | 5:00 to 6:00 pm Pacific Time (PT) as part of HOPE for LA

Traumatic experiences can leave both caregivers and children shaken, scared, and confused. In this interactive workshop, we’ll learn the signs of distress after a traumatic event, how play can enhance the caregiver-child relationship, and fun activities we can use as a tool for supporting our kids (and ourselves!) through difficult times.

?

Thursday, February 20 | 5:00 to 6:30 pm Pacific Time (PT) as part of HOPE for LA

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.
