“TIMELINE OF ME”9/5/2025

Our goal is to provide participants with an artistic framework and methodology they can apply in daily life—using art as a

tool of therapeutic expression, growth, and connection. Through guided creative practice, participants develop emotional

resilience, reduce stress, and build stronger community ties.
