Expressive Arts workshops

1. Intro to Expressive Arts (IEXA) course 8-10 of 60 minutes meetings

This course is for absolute beginners! It can be facilitated online and in person. At each meeting, we will explore a different gateway into visual art. This course promotes mind-body connection, relaxation and self-regulation. You will discover a rich world of Expressive Arts through various exercises. Anna is a kind, open-minded, non-judgemental facilitator. IEXA is fun, profound, life-changing, and healing. It's inclusive of our differences, whether age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, sexual identity, education, national origin, or any other distinguishing characteristic or trait.

2. Holidays/Custom events inspired group sessions/workshops

Workshops inspired by holidays, traditions, seasons, famous artworks, music and more. Anna will use her rich imagination to plan and facilitate a 90-120 minute group workshop. Depending on the group goals, we will try all or some of the ExA modalities: movement, drama, poetry, painting, working with clay, and music.
