This two-session workshop at the Rosedale Centre invites artists of all abilities to explore the therapeutic benefits of arts participation in a relaxed, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.

Guided by Canadian artist and art therapy practitioner Catherine Cameron, participants are introduced to her creative techniques and processes, with emphasis on exploration, presence, and self-expression.

No prior art experience is required. Participants are encouraged wear clothing they are comfortable getting paint on or to bring a smock.

Art-making can be a powerful way to express, understand, and gently work through emotional experiences. Whether participants are navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or simply seeking a deeper connection to themselves, creative practice offers a safe and supportive space for reflection, insight, and personal growth.

Following a brief introduction, participants engage in a guided creative expression and explore new ways to:
- process emotions such as grief, sadness, worry, and loneliness
- practice painting as a form of mindfulness to reduce stress and anxiety
-foster relaxation and presence, and
-build resilience and coping skills.

To ensure a high-quality experience, this program requires a minimum of six participants, with spaces limited.
