Our programs
Our programs are available free of charge to anyone interested in social-emotional wellness and mental health for underserved populations.
Social Emotional Learning program
Increase emotional awareness & build resilience
Our SEL program for children integrates the expressive arts intermodal process with proven research-based strategies for building skills that enable the five competencies of social-emotional learning (SEL).
This program creates a safe space filled with opportunities for children to express themselves, and explore their emotions, thoughts, and feelings. The program is structured to guide children as they develop skills and strategies for understanding their emotions and creating healthy relationships with others.
Targeted at children in all grades, this program provides the curriculum, training for the SEL facilitators, assessments to help calibrate progress and modify the program, and ongoing support throughout the year for SEL facilitators.
Emotional wellness training
Using the expressive arts for reflection & growth
We believe that every child, youth, and adult should have an opportunity for growth through free expression and nonjudgmental witnessing - two very basic human rights! This program aims to create a ripple effect by training nonprofit staff to deliver emotional wellness workshops to their clients. Based on healing traditions, the expressive arts, positive psychology, and neuroscience advances, the workshops promote the creation and holding of safe spaces to help participants express themselves freely and build emotional resilience.
Through our partnership with the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA), we’ve created this program to promote the healing power of expressive arts globally, especially where mental health services are unavailable or inaccessible.

Care for caregivers workshops
Restore, Recharge, Recommit
Our caregivers work from the heart, and their work is never done. Whether they are working with the unhoused (homeless), the displaced (refugees), the incarcerated (prisoners), or the terminally ill (hospice), they work in some of the most difficult and taxing environments and with clients who are going through some of the roughest patches in their lives. They show up each day for their clients, irrespective of their personal challenges and situations. They provide care, but who provides care for them?
Our community of healers help us provide caregivers with some much-needed care, “me time”, R&R, and healing. Our healers bring their special skills (meditation, yoga, reiki, acupressure) to our workshops, where participants will also have the opportunity to do art, journal, reflect, drum, share, witness, and move - to just be.
