Creative Community Flourishing – Craft Vision Boards for Community Connection

Details

Creative Community Flourishing

We’re excited to invite you to a delightful, creative flourishing workshop in partnership with Amherst Village Library.

In this third workshop in our series, we'll explore Vision Boarding as a way to envision the qualities of and types of communities that uplift and nourish us.

You’re welcome to join for the entire series or just the workshops that resonate with you.

Your Vision for A Thriving Community – August 27th – 1 pm to 3 pm
Being part of a vibrant and connected community truly enriches our personal and collective well-being and resilience. In this workshop, you'll have the chance to let your creativity shine as you craft a free-flowing vision board, exploring what a thriving, connected community means and looks like through your eyes.

Acts of Kindness – September 3rd – 1 pm to 3 pm
Learn how small acts of kindness can truly brighten people's days. They not only boost the happiness and well-being of those who perform them, but also help build a stronger, more trusting community where everyone feels safe, connected, and like they belong. To inspire you to share this warmth, we’ll create kindness hearts and cards together.

Inspiration to Join Us
If you’re looking for a little inspiration to join us, here’s a sneak peek at the wonderful wellbeing benefits of this series:

• Joining creative activities with others is a fantastic way to forge new friendships, help us feel less lonely, and build a warm, inclusive community where everyone feels they belong.
• As we participate in these activities, our well-being naturally improves. The joy of creating and connecting helps us better manage stress, understand our emotions, and build confidence—all of which are essential for our mental well-being.
• When we connect and create, our brains release dopamine—often referred to as the "happiness chemical"—and oxytocin, which helps us feel connected to others. These natural, feel-good chemicals lift our spirits and help us feel more relaxed and at ease.
• In essence, being creative is so much more than just having fun. It’s a meaningful way to enhance our overall well-being, develop heartfelt friendships, and nurture our mental, emotional, and social health.

We look forward to welcoming you.
