AWI Sanctuary Space presents: Holistic Holidays—Art, Belonging, & Self-Care
An ongoing Continued Connections program that creates virtual spaces for our community to connect at the intersection of art and mental health.
In this holiday-themed Sanctuary Space event, join us in community as we create a shared space to meaningfully reflect on 2021, engage with art and music that explores mental wellness and self-care, and participate in a film-based, creative writing activity that will help guide us all into the New Year in healthy and empowering ways. For this final “farewell” Sanctuary Space event of the year, we’ll be joined by AWI’s very own core team of mental health advocates + artists, including Cat Tanchanco (Community Manager), Beth Killian (Lead Educator), Andrew Kirschner (Managing Director), and more!
