  • You noticed the critical voice in your head getting louder and you want to learn how to dial the volume down.

Art + Wellness + Activism

A Free Creative Wellness Program

How it works: After School program

  • Short wellness workshop followed by creative time with an artisitic mentor.
  • You get given 8 artistic challenges (you can't fail, there are no grades, just complete free play creative time).
  • You can work in whatever artistic medium you like.  (If you don't have a style of art you love we can teach you photography).
  • You have mentorship support to complete the challenges.
  • The last challenge is to create Art that impacts change in the world in a way that excites you.
  • You get to pick your favourite work to have at the end of the workshop exhibition.

In the heArtivist Workshops you learn:

  • Creative Resilience (how to improve your creative thinking and handle setbacks with grace)
  • Self- Compassion ( how to turn down the volume of the critical voice in your head, and turn up the volume of inspiration.)
  • Non-Violent Communication (how to meet others needs while at the same time getting your needs met without drama)
  • How to Create Creative Circles of Safety (Where you can safely show your creative work and grow as an artist)
  • Community Change Management (How to make art that makes the world a better place.)
