Like many of us, you may be rediscovering your creativity and craving community after a long period of isolation. Art and human connection can be deeply healing: studies show that creative practices like mandala painting can reduce stress and pain, lower blood pressure, improve sleep, ease depression, and even support immune function.
Join Sonserae Leese, Executive Director of Sophie’s Dream — a nonprofit that helps people heal from trauma and PTSD through the arts — for a restorative mandala painting workshop. Sonserae brings over 25 years of experience as an artist in the film industry (Walt Disney Studios, Sony, Nickelodeon) and personal experience of healing from trauma. She teaches drawing and painting techniques while offering gentle, practical suggestions for moving through sadness, avoiding stuckness, and setting small, positive goals for the future.
This hands-on class supplies everything you need to create colorful mandala stones: dotting tools, brushes, pattern guides, paints, and rocks. All materials are included so you can continue painting at home after the session.
Come paint, connect, and nourish your creative spirit in a supportive community setting.
