Creating Calm – Facebook Event

Creating Calm

featuring Rachel Chase

May 2, 1 PM on ACA Facebook

An expressive arts workshop by Atlantic Center for the Arts for your mental well-being with ACA Arts & Wellness Ambassador, Rachel Chase. This workshop focuses on supporting your mental health through times of crisis with an activity you can do solo or with others. No experience necessary.

All you need is an open mind, some paper of any size, and pens or pencils and markers of any color. If you have other items like crayons, paints, pastels or colored paper, glue and scissors, you can use those too. Find a space to create on a table or the floor, perhaps put on some relaxing music in the background if possible, and turn off other distractions so you can be present for this process.

Rachel Chase has been a teaching artist since the age of 15. She began expressing through dance. First a classically trained ballerina, then a semi-professional modern dancer studying with the likes of Alvin Ailey dance company, and dancing professionally in the Orlando area; as well as trained in theater arts. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of South Florida with a bachelor of fine arts, integrating video art and performance, as well as painting and printmaking.  Rachel has continued teaching movement and art to children and adults in community settings for over 15 years. She is currently working toward her Master’s degree in mental health counseling at Rollins College. As a therapist, she continues using expressive and visual arts as therapeutic processes, assisting others on their journey to well-being and wholeness. It is the power of play and creative expression that have always propelled her life into new and uncharted territory. She is constantly creating, and has a passion for consciously creating community. Join her in this ever-evolving process of intuitive creation.
