You've heard of a paint and sip, but what about a paint and ponder??

Join us next Thursday May 14th from 6 to 8pm for 2nd Thursday LGBTQ+ Adult Drop In!

We will check in with each other and talk a little about the upcoming Pride season.

Then through prompts, mindfulness, and discussion, we will each create a simple painting and learn more about ourselves and each other. We've got the supplies! No artistic experience necessary! Perfection is neither required nor encouraged! We hope to see you there. 😀🖌🎨
