INSPIRE JUSTICE
FUEL CREATIVE CHANGE
Embodied Art for Social Justice is a supportive and healing space to transform the frustration, anger, and grief out of the body into creation. Change happens when we make space for something greater.
Join us in community to get out of the head, and into the body to explore the profound connection between art, embodied connection, and energy healing. Find a community of changemakers who believe in the power of healing for the greater good. Leave connected with a sense of transformed energy into art.
Create a community mural and leave with a collection of abstract art.
The revolution is through the body.
