Overview of Brush With Grief: A Creative Workshop for Healing

Brush With Grief is a supportive, art-based workshop designed to help individuals process and express their grief in a meaningful, creative way. This three-hour program offers a safe space to connect with your emotions, honor your unique experience, and create a tangible symbol of your journey. Each session combines mindful art-making, personal reflection, and community connection to guide you through the healing process.

What to Expect:

• Guided Brushmaking: Each participant creates a personalized “grief brush” using natural materials, symbolizing their own journey through loss or transition. Materials include wood, fur, string, and decorations, all provided as part of the workshop kit.
• Grounding and Reflection: We start with a grounding exercise to bring everyone into the present moment, promoting a sense of calm and openness for the creative process ahead.
• Art and Storytelling: Participants will have the opportunity to share their creations and stories, connecting with others in a supportive environment. This shared storytelling fosters empathy, understanding, and a sense of community.
• No Experience Needed: Whether you’re new to art or have creative experience, this workshop is open to all. The focus is on personal expression, not artistic skill.
