Improv for Therapists

In person

This event is for therapists looking to build more confidence, friendships amongst colleagues, and fun in their delightfully drizzling autumn. Gain more confidence to create and perform on the spot in a group setting without any preparation. Tell stories with creativity. Build on group members ideas and come up with scenes, music, or jokes as a group. Take these skills back to your home or work by engaging in family discussions, friendships, and work relationships with more spontaneous strategies, or come share a few moments with fellow healers in a giggle or two or 20!

The core of this work is about letting go of the heavy layers of patriarchal and colonial influence, rethinking how we relate to our bodies, and shifting how power shows up in our relationships.

In the Gallery: Acolyte by Johanna Christianson

We are honored to hold space in our Apothecary this month for Acolyte, a body of work by Johanna Christianson. Our gallery is open to the public Thursday-Saturday 12-4.

Acolyte was birthed during the pandemic when Johanna found a meditative practice in branding ropes from single-use plastics. These ropes found their way into her studio where she played with light to cast shadows. The result is a complex, contemplative series of paintings that remind us of the power of tending to light and hope in dark times.
