Sharing an upcoming pay-what-you-can virtual art therapy group!

Fall is here, and change is in the air! As the Earth around us shifts and prepares for winter, many of us may feel the pull of transformation in our own lives. Change, whether big or small, can bring excitement and a feeling of possibility. But even the best changes can still bring up uncertainty, fear, and old wounds.

In this supportive group space, we’ll use creativity and connection to:

🍁Explore how you feel about the changes in your life right now

🍁Discover ways to support yourself (and each other) through transition

🍁Clarify what you are moving toward as you step into a new chapter

No art experience is needed, just curiosity and openness to the process. Together, we’ll welcome the season of change with compassion, creativity, and intention.

Register online at thetidesarttherapy.ca to save your spot!

If you have any questions about this group, or future groups, please reach out to sarah@thetidesarttherapy.ca
