You care for others - this space is here to nurture YOU.
Welcome to The Creative Oasis, a weekly gathering for those who give care to others and share the heart of service: therapists, social workers, healthcare providers, clergy, teachers, veterans, caregivers—anyone in the helping or healing professions (whether you're currently serving or retired).
The Creative Oasis offers a chance for you to pause, connect, and restore in community with others who “get” the unique challenges of your work. Each week, we offer a different creative theme or project, and you’ll be able to experiment with a variety of art materials.
This gentle, supportive special feature Creative Oasis workshop will reveal the healing power of creative expression. Through creating a unique personal shadowbox, you’ll have the opportunity to explore emotions, reflect on your journey, and find a sense of connection and renewal. No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to engage in the process. This workshop is a safe space to acknowledge your personal experiences, express yourself freely, and experience the power of creativity in a welcoming community. You will receive caring support in navigating loss, change, and passages of all kinds.
This event is open to people of all ages, genders, identities, races, ethnicities, body types, and physical abilities.*
Feel free to approach this time as 'preventative maintenance' for your soul or as an opportunity to connect with kindred professionals. However you choose to view your experience, we offer a gentle reminder: caring for yourself is just as vital as caring for others.
If you're ready to nurture your creative soul, The Creative Oasis awaits you. We can’t wait to welcome you!
