Caregiving for a loved one is a journey of joy and difficulty. Come learn how to connect mind, body and spirit by using the arts as a tool of self-care, social interaction, and lifelong learning.

* This event has been rescheduled.  New information TBA. | A professional development retreat that shares key principles of connecting the arts to community health. In 2015, Atlantic Center for the Arts began to share its unique experiential method of arts and wellness for all ages. We invite community leaders, teaching artists, healthcare professionals, and arts administrators to learn these techniques and best practices in an innovative educational retreat held at the beautiful artist complex of the ACA main campus.

Join artist and art therapist Laura Bohn, M.A.A.T. for this interactive group workshop via Zoom. You will learn how to relax and enjoy the process of painting intuitively with watercolors. Watercolors can be intimidating as they are hard to control. This is a metaphor for life also as we cannot control life. Just as we need to learn how to relax in life for our well-being, we can learn to relax through painting with watercolors. This process-oriented watercolor workshop will cover techniques to help us “let go” and enjoy the flow of watercolor. Open to 12 participants | Register and secure your spot. Zoom details will be emailed to you after registration.
