Art-o-Pause: Breaking the Stigma of Menopause through Art!
Art-o-Pause
What do you think when you hear the word menopause? Why is it a dirty word in our society? Why aren’t we taught or shown how to move into and through this stage in our lives with positivity and empowerment? Why aren’t we encouraged to embrace it and to see how powerful and wise our bodies are?
In this full day workshop, we will explore, through art, where our bodies are at in this journey, whether we are peri, meno-, or post- menopausal. Some of us may not even know WHAT our bodies are doing or what stage we are at! This workshop is meant to be fun, creative, and to break the stigma around menopause through art and the company of awesome women.
Through some guided conversations, art warm ups and mini lessons, you will gain some tools to help you express this internal journey onto a canvas. All art supplies are provided -- just bring yourself, a lunch, and an open mind!
Elpida coffee and various teas served.
Min. 4, max 6 people per session.
Cost is $100 per person. 11am-5pm
