6/27 – THE CREATIVE OASIS SPECIAL FEATURE—EMBODIMENT & NATURE MANDALAS for Helpers
DATE: Friday, 6/27
TIME: 9:30 AM - 11:30 AM
FACILITATOR: Ashley Sonson
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 special feature Creative Oasis workshop combines gentle, trauma-sensitive yoga with mindful creative expression. The first half will guide you through invitational movement and breathwork, helping you reconnect with your body. The second half will flow into meditative art-making with nature mandalas, allowing you to express yourself freely in a non-judgmental, creative space.
No prior experience in yoga or art required—just bring an open mind and a willingness to explore. This event is open to people of all ages, genders, identities, races, ethnicities, body types, and physical abilities.*
Everything is optional: engage in the movement, the art, or both—your choice, your pace. This is a space for self-compassion, connection, and care, free from external expectations or judgment.
Chairs, cushions, and limited mats are available. Please feel free to bring your own mat if desired. The facilitator will reach out to new participants for a brief conversation to answer any questions about the movement portion.
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!
Please register by 6/25. If you have missed the deadline, please contact us to see if space is available.
PLEASE NOTE: Our studio space is only accessible by way of stairs with a railing. This is not a substitute for therapy, so please reach out to a therapist or medical provider if you are experiencing ongoing mental health challenges. You must also register to obtain the access code to the studio as we are in a secure building.
