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 this one-of-a-kind experiential workshop, you’ll engage in guided mindfulness exercises, poetry reading and creative writing while spending meaningful time with horses to facilitate your presence and creative expression. Through a blend of Equine-Assisted Learning and writing, you gain insight into your emotions, cultivate body-mind awareness, and deepen your sense of self-compassion.
Poem-making, when approached as a therapeutic, healing and transformative process, rather than with literary analysis and judgment, provides an opportunity for increased self-awareness and growth. This approach encourages listening, connection, and finding deeper meaning in your life.
You’ll leave this workshop feeling grounded, inspired, and empowered by the experience of being deeply listened to by the horses holding space for us. There is a heart-felt connection with the horses who sees you fully in that moment.
No prior experience with horses or art is required.
