Art, music, and movement combine for this colorful, expressive, one-of-a kind experience.

This workshop, facilitated by Creative Arts Therapist Candace Rivela, introduces action painting: a dynamic art form that relies on the body’s spontaneous movements and gestures to transform a blank canvas into an abstract work of art.

Live music provides the perfect beat and backdrop to help you connect to the present moment and your body’s natural rhythm.

Please be aware that we will be conducting temperature checks at the door and ask that you keep your mask on throughout the duration of this session.

About The Series:

Our Winter Wellness series offers the community weekly opportunities at the start of the new year to connect safely with others around themes of new beginnings, self-care, health and wellness. Classes vary from expressive arts activities that promote a flow of creative energy to mind-body practices to warm the body and spirit such as yoga, dance, and sound healing. Classes are facilitated by rotating guest artists and wellness practitioners from the local area.
