In this interactive creative workshop, participants will get the tools and guidance to complete artistic prompts that combine simple drawing techniques with writing to rest their mind, release stress, and renew their energy and vision. Through engaging in creativity, participants experience community-building, self-connection and expression, emotional processing, and reducing cognitive overload, both at the moment and as a tool for future use. No prior visual art or creative writing experience is needed to experience the benefits of this workshop.
Learning Objectives – After attending the “Creative Rest” workshop, participants will leave with:
- Decreased stress and anxiety levels
- Increased sense of human-centered connection with themselves and others
- Actionable knowledge of creative tools and practices for ongoing use designed to foster reflection and express emotions, which help recover from and reduce risk of burnout
