Speaking Through the Arts
WORKSHOP & RESIDENCY
Gigi Fiori
Join Gigi in speaking the universal language of art. This experience is based in the therapeutic benefits of creating art through exploration of multi/intermodal processes. The creative process promotes relief of stress, encourages creative thinking associated with problem solving, boosts self-esteem, activates our reward systems, and provides a sense of accomplishment. It allows people to find new ways to communicate and make connections, even between seemingly unrelated things. The best part is that there is no skillset required to participate, just a willingness to engage with the material. The goal of this workshop is to promote slowing down, mindfulness, and intentionality through two competencies of social emotional learning: self-awareness and self-management.
