DC: Exploring Self-Care through Artistic Expression

EVENT DETAILS

All in person event invites will be sent to members by email. To make sure you’re on our list,  become a member here.

Have you ever wondered why so many people embraced art and creativity during the pandemic? Whether it was for personal expression, a distraction, or both…research shows that engaging in art-making – broadly defined – can be a powerful form of self-care. It can help us think clearly, soothe our nervous system, and even rewire our brain’s response to stress.

Join us and our talented presenter Lauren Cook, as she leads fun and relaxed interactive exercises designed to show how simple acts of artistic creation can be vital for self-discovery, enhancing mind-body connections, and fortifying ongoing self-care. No prior art-making experience is necessary – this is for everyone!

NOTE: This event is a reprise of our sold-out event in October and will be hosted by Parlay House member Amy Kwak at her home in Bethesda, MD, just off the Beltway. The specific address will be emailed to you upon registration. There’s lots of street parking available. Food and drinks will be served, so no need to eat before you come. And come dressed “casual” as we are gonna play! Register early – spaces are limited.
