Expressive Art Journaling with Laura Bohn – Facebook Live

Come explore art journaling in this free online class led by artist/art therapist Laura Bohn. The goal of therapeutic art journaling is to reduce stress and promote relaxation by increasing participants’ ability to play, experiment and gain self-guided insight and understanding of one’s own emotions. Added benefits can include self-growth, discovery, and joy through visual storytelling in a supportive group environment.  Join us via Facebook Live!
