I Remember

Use art to explore personal memories, meaningful moments, and the emotions tied to them. Through drawing, collage, or mixed media, participants gently revisit the past to find insight, healing, and connection to their life stories.

“Healing through the Arts” is a creative workshop series designed to nurture mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being through artistic expression. All sessions encourage expressive freedom without judgment, focusing on feeling rather than perfection. Each session invites participants to explore different themes—like mindfulness, emotional release, and self-discovery—using accessible, hands-on art activities. No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to create, reflect, and connect.

Sessions run select Saturday mornings from 9:00am to noon in Founders’ Hall. There is a one-time $30 charge for materials and a “Pay What You Can” at each session for instruction. You can attend as many sessions as you like.  You can register for the sessions and make payments at https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/healing-through-art-tickets-1639509590319?aff=oddtdtcreator Some scholarships are available (see Family Life Coordinator Caitlyn Seale). Sessions are open to the community, so feel free to bring a friend.

All sessions are conducted by UCM member Dominika Dittwald. She is a teacher, visual artist, filmmaker and photographer committed to using creative expression for wellness and personal growth. A certified teacher and art therapy practitioner, her goal is to help individuals and communities connect with their inner creative life force.
