Join Bloom and The Cognitive Corner (TCC) for a joint therapeutic collage art journalling workshop guided by Meghan Watson, MA. RP (hey that’s me!😂) and Simone Saunders, M.S.W. RSW 💖

We are so excited to share our collective wisdom and explore the ways in which collage journalling can support a nourished and grounded nervous system. We’ll dive into the tactile and somatic experience of physical art making, as well as explore resources and learnings to resource ourselves in stress, crisis and overwhelm.

​This offering is for you if:

• You're interested in finding ways to regulate and resource your nervous system, guided by licensed therapists 🛋

• You’re looking for more opportunities to be in creative community with likeminded others 🫂

• You’re curious about exploring the ways that expressive arts, creativity, journalling and collage can provide therapeutic healing and growth🌱

• You want inspiration, ideas and support to build sustainable wellness & coping practices 😊

​Grounded and informed by narrative, expressive arts, and somatic therapies, you will be given all of the collage and art supplies needed (and more 😉), all while learning and exploring in an intimate and cozy lounge setting 🍂

• ​​✍🏾 Custom therapy and collage journal prompts designed by Simone and Meg.
