Our healing art facilitator partnered with a local housing program to deliver an empowerment workshop with an opportunity for a healing art project afterwards.
She chose to walk participants through the “At the Core Community Mural Project.” Together, participants had a chance to explore their individual “core wounds,” looking inward to identify the experiences, beliefs, and patterns that have shaped their lives.
At the same time, they were invited to connect outward, sharing, listening and reflecting on how they are one community and the support and resources available to them. This helped foster a sense of unity, reminding participants that they are part of one community walking this journey together.
The quilt they created will be displayed at the domestic violence awareness event, Living in Light: The Art of Healing and then returned to the supportive housing program to display in a common area.
