Classes listed today! Two bi weekly sessions to choose from or register for both. Descriptions and dates below.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A YMCA MEMBER TO ATTEND. Link to register at the end of this message.
Cost per session of 5 classes is $140 and all materials are provided. We tried to offer this for free like last year but this is what we can do for now and we totally understand if it’s not something affordable for you, but, if you came last year and found it valuable to your mental health, invest in yourself this time, you deserve it. It’s not an outrageous Friday night expense and much cheaper than therapy - and I’m a therapist lol.
Classes are two tracks, one that is intermediate, working on your painting skills and one that is beginners and art therapy relaxation focused. You must sign up through the YMCA. If you ask the YMCA they can split the payment so half in April and half in May. Sign up now and reserve your spot! It’s rare to find a safe community and our energy is fantastic.
