Join Mahja Kabir, an artist and art therapy trainee, for a six-week closed art therapy group for adults!
Belonging: A Sense of Place invites participants to slow down, connect with nature, and explore their inner world through creative expression. Each session includes a brief meditation, gentle check-in, nature-inspired art-making, and optional sharing.
 
Across the six weeks, the garden becomes both a setting and a metaphor for exploring themes of memory, identity, place, belonging, relationship, and what makes somewhere feel like “home.” Each session introduces a distinct theme while contributing to an overarching exploration of belonging and our relationship with the natural world.
 
As a closed group, participants are invited to attend all six sessions. The continuity of the series offers opportunities to build trust, develop connections, and deepen reflection as the sessions unfold.
 
The group is facilitated by Mahja Kabir, an artist and art therapy trainee who creates gentle, creative spaces that support reflection, care, growth, and connection. Art therapy uses the creative process as a way to explore emotions, experiences, relationships, and self-awareness, with no emphasis on artistic skill or producing a finished artwork.
 
Wednesdays, January 20 through February 24, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. (six sessions).
Public $120, TBG Members $90 (plus applicable taxes and fees).
