Expressive Arts

  • Length: 10 Weeks

This group is for those who identify as female and have experienced sexual or gender-based violence. Together we will use body-based mindfulness exercises and the arts to explore topics such as boundaries, trust, strengths, wisdom, and more. The group’s aim is to provide a safe-enough space to explore, grow, and heal from our experiences of violence.

This is not a talk therapy group. This group will provide its participants with the opportunity to share the felt effects of gender-based violence that we may hold in common.
