Workshops & Groups

Creative, experiential, and professionally facilitated groups for children or adults are available that cater to your organization or populations' needs. Therapeutic or team building experiences can be brought to your school's students, your organization's employees, or your agency's clients.  Both children and adults alike can benefit from fun and playful interactions offered through expressive play-, art- or yoga-inspired activities. Our groups have been previously offered at Camp Clover children's bereavement camp, local elementary school's Health & Wellness Summit, and the Carol G.
