Collaborative Arts for Mental Health Awareness: Workshop

Mindful Playfulness
This one-hour movement workshop focuses on making “downtime” nourishing by practicing peaceful and playful awareness. Using Mary Overlie’s Viewpoints, a dance and theatre practice, we’ll explore our relationship to the present moment and its potential. Dress comfortably to move, and bring something to write with (crayons, colored pencils or markers, etc., welcome).

Creative Writing Salon

As part of the SGA-sponsored collaborative mental health-focused art spaces, this workshop led by Prof. Gottshall will use a variety of writing exercises and prompts to loosen our imaginations and experience language in an expressive and embodied way. The focus will be on playfulness and process, and accepting language’s invitation into realms of beauty, mystery, and strangeness.

SGA Drum Healing

Sitting around a ceremonial community drum, we will create and engage with rhythms designed to open and energize chakras, those important energy centers in our bodies. No experience necessary; Simply bring yourself with an open heart-mind and ears.
