ART4HEALING & STUDIO ART
ART SPEAKS WHERE WORDS CANNOT.
ART4HEALING
Certified in an established program called "Art4Healing", Crescent Moon Center's director will facilitate a theme-based two-hour art workshop using acrylics, watercolors, pastels and collage. It is a fast-paced painting project created around themes and questions within the themes, some allowing only 2 minutes to respond to. At the end of each exercise, participants are encouraged to share about their painting experience and the emotions involved. This is an educational exercise, and no prior art experience is necessary.
STUDIO ART
Center participants will have access to a well-equipped art studio which allows self-expression through art in an unstructured environment, selecting from a range of materials such as paint, clay, etc. An Artist in Residency will provide a peer mentorship to all particpants.

About the event
In partnership with horses, you can learn about mindfulness, authenticity, and compassion. Science has shown that when humans offer their hearts to horses, their heartbeats synchronize. You develop a close and intimate connection with the horse based on trust and respect. Horses are confidence builders, they are teachers of life skills and they lift us up no matter the challenges we face.
Expressive arts offer a way to connect to your authentic self and the vision board is a physical manifestation of what you want to see in your life based on your values and goals. Through a series of questions, you will create a picture using words and symbols representing what you want to achieve. By placing this vision board in your home where you can see it daily, you will receive an immensely powerful, clear message of your deepest desires, training your brain and body to complete the actions you have painted, thus bringing your goals to fruition.
Led by experienced facilitators, our workshops are designed to integrate with one another, each providing a unique lens of self-discovery.
