Healing Through the Arts, Sound, and Movement
Creative Studio is a series of 3-hour workshops inspired by the intersection of the arts and sciences. Each workshop features local and out-of-state artists whose work explores the human experience and the healing power of the arts. The purpose is to provide a structured yet creative space for individuals to gain scientific insights into deep psychological themes while promoting overall well-being through creative practices.
Explore. Create. Heal. Together.
