Fredericksburg Pride is happy to bring back out Wellness + Expressive Arts Workshop!

Workshop Summary:
This workshop will focus on the internal self and what the internal self is putting and bringing out into the community and world. Through various art-making prompts, participants will create a visual of their internal self and reflect on how their unique self affects the community and others around them. Participants will reflect with expressive prompts, healthy ways to regulate their internal output while making sure their needs are met. This workshop builds on mindfulness and wellness practices through arts and personal creativity to aid in creating a better understanding of oneself and one’s interactions with others. This workshop aids in promoting overall wellness and understanding of boundaries, personal space, and community through personal creative expression.

Facilitator Description :
Jessica “Dottie” Heiler (she/her) is currently working toward her M.A. in Mental Health Counseling in Expressive Arts Therapy from Lesley University. Expressive Arts Therapy is an arts-integrated approach to therapy that uses writing, art, drama, music, and dance ( just to name a few) and one’s creativity as part of the therapeutic process. Dottie has a background in performing arts and education before changing tracks to the mental health field and has always used the arts as part of her own healing journey.
