May 26, 2026 10:00 am - 11:30 am
This hands-on expressive arts workshop invites participants to explore emotional expression, self-reflection, and inner resilience through the tactile and grounding medium of clay. Using gentle prompts and collaborative creative exploration, participants will shape, mold, and transform clay as a way to access feelings, stories, and inner strengths.
No artistic experience is necessary—this workshop is about process, not product. Clay offers a rich sensory experience that can support relaxation, emotional release, and a sense of presence.

A Death Cafe is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives, or themes. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session.
