Whether it's unwinding after a stressful day by picking up a guitar or
feeling paralyzed at the prospect of  your next creative endeavor, art and
anxiety have a powerful relationship. This week at *Creatives Anonymous*,
we'll explore this relationship--how it habitually manifests, as well as
how to transform its more problematic points--using mindfulness exercises,
journaling prompts, discussion, and practical tools.
Pick out your favorite colored pencils, pour yourself a mug of tea, and
join us for some creative camaraderie!
March 3rd, 6-7:30pm

donation, but if that isn't feasible for you, there is no minimum
donation–please attend guilt-free!)*


*About Creatives Anonymous Wellness Group: *
Being an artist can be tough during the best of times; Covid amplifies
those challenges. Whether you have lost your main source of income, are
struggling to work from home with a family, are feeling creatively blocked
or are just plain tired of feeling anxious all the time, this group will
help you step back, rest, and reset while navigating life’s challenges. By
tending to ourselves––body, mind & spirit––with self-care, wellness, and
mindfulness practices, we’ll foster a community of self-reflection and
support. Though we may engage in therapeutic practices, this is a
peer-group and not therapy. Drop-ins welcome (you don’t have to sign up for
multiple sessions at once) but advanced registration is required to ensure
you receive the link to join. Link to video-call will be sent out about an
hour before the session.

Group meets* every 2 weeks on Wednesdays* from 6pm-7:30pm (EST).

*At Bloom...*

*We know* that having a solid foundation in your craft frees artists to
express their fullest selves.
*We understand* that creativity is best cultivated in supportive
communities.
*We believe* that all people are artists, and all artists are people.
*Sometimes you just need a little reminder...*
