Virtual Creative Processing for Families: Creating Intentions

Reflect together on big (and sometimes tough) ideas about the world and ourselves through art. This workshop includes guided group conversations about works of art with an expressive arts therapist and hands-on art making with a focus on exploration.

What can you envision about the year ahead? Explore the process of setting intentions in your family and create a weaving inspired by El Anatsui’s monumental Lines That Link Humanity that brings together your goals, plans, and feelings for 2022.
