Workshop Description

The Conscious Canvas is an intimate, in-person two-hour collaborative art experience for a small group of fifteen educators. Through simple drawing activities, materials exploration, and the unhurried joy of creating alongside others, you'll discover what it feels like to be truly present - with the materials, with each other, and with yourself. Grounded in a trauma-informed lens, this experience invites you to notice what you're drawn to, honour what you feel, and explore what becomes possible when collaboration comes from a place of safety and awareness. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of art materials and a felt sense of what intentional, conscious collaboration truly looks like - for yourself and for the children you serve. 

Notice. Connect. Create.  Together.

PLEASE NOTE: This is an IN-PERSON experience!

Certificates of completion are available upon completion.

Length: 2 hours
