Calming Stars - Art Therapy for Self-Care and Stress Management
Join NOCC and Twist Out Cancer for an evening of healing, relaxation, and self-care through art. Art therapy can help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress-related to a cancer diagnosis. Using star metaphors and symbols, we will explore grounding and breath practices that support self-care and stress management. No artistic background is necessary to participate -- just an interest in using art for expression. We encourage you to use what you have in your home when possible. Suggested art supplies include white multi-use paper or watercolor paper, colorful markers or crayons (including white crayons), table salt, watercolor paints and paintbrush, oil pastels, paper towels, and a cup of water.
Presenter: Mignon Dupepe LCPC, ATR of Twist out Cancer
