Creative Self Expression for Community Building and Mental Wellness

Creative Self Expression for Community Building & Mental Wellness

This special event will highlight not only the importance of creative self expression and the positive benefits that it brings, but how integral it is to have a creative arts community in which we are currently developing for DBSA CA for regular bi-monthly poetry workshops to bring together all walks of life in safe place for participants to express their truths, to be witnessed, to celebrated, to be support and cared for.

For example, to come together for the common good of humanity, and revive lost love. A core principle of sharing creativity is that it is like a bridge. This bridge allows us to cross over to certain backgrounds that we may be unfamiliar with yet still like minded and learn from each other fostering diverse connections and friendships to feel less alone/isolated. There’s a true, and rare beauty in that.
