We're two weeks away from Creative Wellbeing Through Visual Art: In Our Feelings 🫟 Led by Heather Hilliard Bonds and hosted in collaboration with Jericho Road Pasadena at the Armory!

Make a doll and explore emotional symbolism in a new way. Join us for an evening of artmaking, connection, and a space to take a deep breath. 🌬️
This gathering is specifically for nonprofit staff who have been deeply involved in wildfire recovery work. There is no art experience necessary, just come ready to slow down and create with people who understand what this season has been like.

Every participant will make a doll that goes home as a small piece of their current emotional journey. Dinner is included with your registration! There are only 15 spots available.
