SUMMARY:Affirm and Align: A Creative Coloring Experience
DESCRIPTION:2026 is the year to give back to yourself\, and there’s no better place to start than this installment of our ARTful Wellness series. \nJoin us for a calming creative workshop that invites you to slow down\, reflect\, and reconnect with yourself through intentional coloring and gentle reflection. \nParticipants will spend time coloring affirmation-based designs while engaging with simple prompts that encourage mindfulness\, grounding\, and personal alignment. This experience blends creativity with nervous system regulation\, creating space to pause\, breathe\, and move at your own pace. \nParticipants are welcome to arrive anytime during the workshop window and stay as long as they’d like while coloring and reflecting. No artistic experience is needed\, just come as you are and enjoy a quiet moment of creativity and connection. \nAll ages welcome (students under 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult) \nThursday\, May 21st  \n11 am – 12:30 pm \nRegistration Fee: Free!! \nThis free wellness class is brought to you in partnership with UVA Health.

SUMMARY:Drawing Feelings as Blobs
DESCRIPTION:2026 is the year to give back to yourself\, and there’s no better place to start than this free wellness class\, brought to you in partnership with UVA Health! \nIn this class\, students will start by painting loose\, abstract blobs of color without overthinking it. You’ll focus on color\, movement\, and feeling rather than trying to make something “look right.” \nOnce the paint is down\, you’ll use markers or pens to draw over them\, turning the blobs into faces\, characters\, or anything else they see in the forms. The idea is to let the image reveal itself instead of planning it from the beginning! \nThis class will help you recognize and express your emotions in a low-pressure way. Sometimes feelings start out messy or hard to define\, kind of like random paint on a page. By transforming those blobs into something recognizable\, you’ll practice making sense of what you’re feeling and seeing their emotions with curiosity instead of judgment. It’s a playful way to build self-awareness\, creativity\, and comfort with imperfection! \nAges 15+ \nSaturday\, May 23rd \n12-2 pm \nRegistration Fee: FREE! \nThis free wellness class is brought to you in partnership with UVA Health
