Time: Saturday, October 21st, 2023, 10am-12pm

Location: Boulder Public Library, Main Branch - Eldorado Room

Free workshop, as part of Temple of Tranquility events calendar

Welcome to a healing workshop for people of color. Liz Zhou (she/her), trauma-informed therapist, will guide participants through open-ended art and writing activities to facilitate connection, community, and creativity. This will be a gentle and soothing environment to explore our individual and collective stories, emotions, struggles, joys, and hopes.

We will begin with introductions to create a warm space together. Then, Liz will offer a few prompts to spark your creative energy. No previous art or writing experience is required — this is about self-reflection, not perfection. You will have full choice over what you create, what it means to you, and whether you’d like to share it at the end of our time together. We will close with reflections and a brief mindfulness practice, so that you can continue your day on a relaxed and contemplative note.

All materials will be provided, though you can bring your own journal and pen if you wish. All who identify as BIPOC are welcome. Liz will bring a compassionate and attentive presence, to ensure that each participant feels comfortable and cared for. 

Show up as you are, and connect with other open hearts and minds. We can’t wait to meet you!
