Art Journaling (Mondays, 1:00 - 2:00 p.m. CT)

Facilitator: Ruthe
Series Length: Ongoing (Join anytime!)
Supplies: We will ship a small free kit to anyone who lives within the United States and registers on or before May 28. If you live outside of the US, or register on May 29 or later, please see the suggested supplies below.

Creativity is proven to have positive effects in reducing anxiety, boosting mood, and improving focus... the list of benefits goes on and on! This ongoing class builds on elements discussed in Creative Mindfulness and Virtual Art Making Classes.

Combining art with journaling can be truly enjoyable and enrich our lives. It can create a sense of self-awareness, encourage us, empower us, and inspire us. Each week, we will have a different creative prompt and spend time learning and using a variety of art making processes and techniques, all while using supplies found around the house!

Each class will take place from 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. CT. You are welcome to attend all sessions of the class, or just drop in when you are available. Just register once to receive a reminder email each week!

Please note that we will not meet on Memorial Day, Monday May 27.

Suggested supplies: Pen or pencil, paper or a notebook, scissors, glue or other adhesive, other art supplies. You are welcome to participate with or without these supplies!
