 Collaging Through Our Cycles

Start with Smudge.

 

   In our sixth session we will be learning about the power of healing through art, specifically Collaging. Collaging has been shown to be a good tool to help heal from traumas as it focuses closely on creating a form of order and teaches us to learn how we used to when we were all born: Sight. Collaging Materials will be provided and an example from Sarah will be shown. Let's collage our way into a new cycle together.

Celebration of Cycles and Closing Circle

Start with Smudge.

   We did it! We have reached our eighth and final session together in our "Neurodivergent With A Cycle" youth group. In this session we will come together in a Closing Circle to celebrate our completion of our time together. We will share our hopes for the future going forward with this group and how to tell the story of all we learned. Sarah will be doing this through an Interactive  Poem Workshop. We will all learn how to create a poem to represent our story of our experiences throughout our time together. 

End with West Cost Women's Warrior Song.
