Please pre-register for the Feb 27th keynote reception, and the Feb 28th Creative Arts & Healing Workshop presented by Barbara Trauger-Querry titled: "Social Justice to Peace: Art Therapy and Kindness". Through images & stories we will explore concepts of social justice and how we can translate this lofty concept into behavior that can be practiced in our daily lives.  Art projects using shaped wood and brown papier-mâché boxes will be related to themes of social interaction, giving and kindness. We will be creating pins, kindness boxes, and art to hang or give or abandon.
