Join local storyteller and teaching artist Celine O’Malley, for a series of workshops focused on creative expression, community connection, and play! Through imagination games, mindfulness, reflective and creative writing, art making, and storytelling, we’ll explore how we can support better health and wellness in our lives by allowing space for our inner worlds to speak, and building a sense of joy, empowerment, belonging, and connection with ourselves and those around us. No experience necessary, just bring an open mind and curious heart 🙂
