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.
