Art for Wellness Fall Registration
Date: Thursdays, September 18 - Dec 11
Time: 4:00-5:00pm
Location: online
Take some time for fun and join the drop-in virtual sessions to explore Art for Wellness. Engaging in artistic activities like painting, drawing, or sculpting can help those living with a chronic illness to channel their thoughts and feelings in a constructive way, reducing anxiety and promoting mindfulness. The immersive nature of art encourages focus and helps quiet the mind, offering a sense of control and accomplishment. Additionally, observing or creating art can stimulate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, boosting mood and fostering a sense of joy.
Whether practiced individually or as part of a welcoming community, art can also strengthen social connections, enhance self-esteem, and serve as a therapeutic tool for navigating life's challenges.

Feel free to bring the supplies you’d like to use or utilize things you already have around your house to create your art such as chalk or charcoal, pencils, printing paper, magazines or newspaper, colouring pencils, markers, scissors, etc. You could also forage in nature and create a piece of eco-art or repurpose things you have for recycled art.
Once you have registered, you will receive your link to the webinar via email. These art for wellness sessions are generously brought to you by the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute.
