We often intellectualize the anxious thoughts we experience. Those thoughts overwhelm us and we feel out of control. Research shows that our nervous systems and minds can quickly regulate when we connect with stable, earthy, and sensory experiences. Moreover, doing this repeatedly and making it a practice can even help in understanding, accepting, and finding a place for the overwhelming thoughts and experiences in our lives. So, let’s literally get out of our heads.

Join us to learn how to connect and regulate your body to better understand and address your anxiety. Week over week we will use two tactile forms of art to help you explore your internal narratives and increase emotional awareness. The group will begin with a grounding exercise, followed by a guided activity using either mediums or both, followed by a short group reflection before closing.

P.s. You need no artistic skill to engage with clay and paint, so please do not let that be a deterrent from joining us.
