THROW KINDNESS AROUND LIKE CONFETTI BY BEING YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND (ART THERAPY WORKSHOP)

Part of CATCA 2026
Friday 20 February 2026·5:20 pm

Ask yourself, what do I need when I feel sad, mad, or just not so glad? Using art as a medium, participants investigate kindness from a self-compassionate lens, exploring the topic by treating themselves like a good friend. No artistic skills are needed, just a willingness to explore kindness creatively. Add to your emotional intelligence toolbelt by learning a hands-on activity you can share with your students by crafting a functional art piece that incorporates STEAM and mindful components. As a participant you will experience firsthand the psych-educational learning on how to navigate emotions effectively using a mindful, art-based practice.
