We'll have a thank you card writing workshop (with helpers for those who haven't mastered the pen yet), eat snacks, and settle in for a movie while you take a few hours to recover from the holiday hustle.

location: Social Hall
description: Preregistration HERE is requested for this event!
We are living in strange times, and strange times call for more art and more dedication to doing our part to keep that arc of the moral universe bending toward justice!
At this gathering, we will look back on 2024 and forward to 2025 through a Stoic practice known for its capacity to galvanize hope. Then, each participant will create a mini art journal to document concrete actions they can take toward peace, justice, and self-care in the year ahead. No art skills needed!
Bring a snack to share, and I'll put the kettle on for tea.
All supplies will be provided, but you are more than welcome to bring your favorite scrapbook paper, pens, markers, stencils, etc.
Below is the style of pocket-sized art journal you will create, perfect for exploring bite-sized concepts. Yours will be completely unique and on a different topic from the ones pictured.
