OUT OF MIND, INTO BODY: EXPLORING EMOTION THROUGH ART with Julie Pomerleau

This workshop helps participants identify emotions and process those emotions by creating art. Using a combination of mindfulness, movement, and breath work participants will be asked to explore an emotion. We will then move on to creating a piece of art. This is about the journey not the destination. All emotions are valid and needed, but some are better served in art outside of our bodies. This provides participants with a tool to express themselves in a healthy, non-verbal manner.

Themes: The workshop provides an opportunity for discussion about belonging in Quebec as a member of the LGBTQ2S+ community.

Materials: paints, paintbrushes, markers, colour pencils, canvas, paper
