Help us kick off this series where we’ll explore effective coping skills through creativity and mindfulness. You’ll make your own stress ball, practice mindful eating, and dive into art activities that help calm the mind and promote relaxation. This hands-on workshop will give you practical tools to manage stress while having fun and expressing yourself creatively! It’s the perfect way to unwind and build healthy habits for handling life’s challenges.

Emotions Unleashed: Becoming Aware with Animals

At Natick Community Organic Farm
Come hang out with us while we explore emotional awareness and intrinsic motivation in a relaxed, hands-on setting with some furry friends!
Through petting and interacting with animals, we’ll reflect on how animals can teach us about emotions and mindfulness. We’ll also dive into how intrinsic motivation can guide us in setting personal goals and finding inner drive.
Facilitators: Daniel Hiam, Cole Ogden, Vanessa Finder, Alex Sinrich and Abby Raider
Artistic Minds: Exploring Mental Health Through Creativity Sunday

Afterward, we’ll dive into a theater workshop focused on building healthy relationships, where you’ll explore communication, boundaries, and self-care through creative expression.
