À propos de l'événement
Art Therapy: Aftercare Box
Build the Box That Holds You
In this gentle and creative art therapy workshop, participants will design a symbolic aftercare box—a visual representation of the care, comfort, and grounding they may need after intense experiences, scenes or simply the challenges of daily life.
Using collage, drawing, mixed media, or sculptural elements, each participant will create a unique container that holds their personal symbols of safety, boundaries, and restoration.
This workshop offers a nonjudgmental, affirming space to explore what aftercare means individually and relationally. Together, we’ll turn art-making into an act of self-knowledge, resilience, and compassion.
No artistic experience required—just a willingness to explore! This workshop offers a supportive, non-judgmental space for self-discovery, connection, and empowerment. Come as you are, and create alongside others who understand the complexities of being kinky in a vanilla world.
All materials provided. Confidentiality, consent, and personal autonomy are deeply respected in this space.
Doors will open 15 minutes before the workshop starts. Tickets are pay what you can with a minimum of $15. No Probe membership required.
About Elena:
I’m an art therapist in training and passionate about the power of creative expression to support personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.
My work is dedicated to helping individuals explore their emotions, overcome challenges, and find healing through the creative process. I believe creativity takes many forms, and that everyone has the ability to access their own. I see myself as a guide on a journey we take together, helping people navigate life’s complexities through authentic self-expression. I am deeply committed to fostering inclusivity and creating a safe, affirming space for all clients, including those from LGBTQIA2S+, Kink and ENM and other marginalized communities.
