WELLNESS WORKSHOPS

A TRANSFORMATIVE APPROACH TO ART EDUCATION


CULTIVATING A CONSCIOUS AND CREATIVE CULTURE

Education in the principles of craft, creation, and visual processes through the lens of a broader social-emotional methodology. Wellness Workshops provide opportunities to learn new techniques and skills that can be applied in real-time, guiding students towards sophistication in thinking and expression. Through the exploration of our experiences and emotions, we become more conscious, creative, empathetic, and empowered.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Wellness Workshops are an excellent opportunity for students to learn social/emotional skills, engage in creative activities, and connect with their peers. To ensure that each workshop is effective, it is important to allot a minimum of 3 hours per session. This time will be used to cover content, activities, and one art project. For those looking to schedule a workshop, single sessions can be scheduled by the day. Alternatively, a collection of workshops can be scheduled over the span of a week, month, or quarter depending on the needs of the organization and/or project. It is important to note that workshops are free to students, and schools and/or organizations partnering with Kara Elizabeth are responsible for covering the cost to host a workshop.

WORKSHOP CURRICULUM

  • SELF-AWARENESS: IDENTITY

    During this workshop, students will map and explore the Physical, Emotional, Intellectual, and Spiritual self as four unique parts of the whole. Students will become more aware of themselves as their capacity for understanding their own identity is expanded. When children are given the vocabulary to conceptualize this idea, and a framework to navigate, they are better equipped to manage their own heads and hearts.

  • SELF REGULATION: PEACEFUL ENERGY

    During this workshop, students will connect with their roots and learn to ground themselves in Peace and Stillness. They will learn to balance their energy and connect with the deeper and quieter parts of themselves. When young people begin to practice consciousness and self-awareness, they become more competent in self-regulation, making a more intentional contribution to the whole.

  • EMOTIONAL WELLNESS: HIGH VIBRATION

    During this workshop, students will explore the thoughts and emotions that overwhelm their heads and hearts. Students will learn to how to manage their emotional garden, pulling the weeds and watering the seeds. When students learn to honor and protect the emotional self, beautiful flowers grow within.

  • SOCIAL JUSTICE: PERSPECTIVE
