SATURDAY MAY 14, 2022, 10 AM – 12 PM

These past two years have been trying to say the least. Many of us have experienced change, suffered loss, and hopefully felt moments of joy in between.  Should you find yourself with the need to express these feelings artistically, please join artist and Expressive Arts Therapist Luci Dilkus for a restorative art-making workshop.  These sessions are offered within the current exhibition Dying Matters: Expressions of Growth Through Grief (April 22-July 16), a partnership exhibition between Hospice Orillia and OMAH.  

Luci will guide participants through the therapeutic and cathartic process of expressing themselves through pastels, poetry, journaling and movement.  This is an adult program, with no previous artistic experience necessary. Members $35/General $40 (plus HST) for each workshop.  All materials included, although participants are encouraged to bring their own journal if they keep one.  Once completed, participants are also encouraged to place their artwork on the walls to contribute to this exhibition.

$40 ($35 for OMAH Members)  All materials included.
