Liz and Benjamin led another great community circle on Wednesday. This session, community members wrote some words that resonated with them for safety and belonging. They also wrote one word they are hoping to implement into their life this year. Then, each person put their cards into the circle to symbolize connectedness.
The next community circle will be Wednesday, April 16th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. We hope you can make it!
Last week we hosted art therapy with Yekseny for our neighbors! Art therapy this week was entered around family bonding through blanket making. Each family was able to pick out their own fabric and tie the knots together with their loved ones. We loved seeing the generational support with one another! We are so appreciative to our TFD friends and community members for coming out to this workshop and being vulnerable.
Thanks to Yekseny for a wonderful, artistic night!
Jessica and Benjamin led another great community circle on Wednesday. Although we had to reschedule, we are so grateful our community was able to show up! This session continued to build relationships and trust from the previous session. Community members bring their centerpiece items that represent an important moment or memory. Then, the centerpieces were then added to the middle with Jessica and Benjamin’s pieces.
The next community circle will be Wednesday, March 12th from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. We hope you can make it!
Last evening, Liz and Jessica of TFD hosted our very first candle-making workshop. We invited community members to join us Wednesday evening for a relaxing night. These candles were made to be personalised by scent but also motivating stickers to remind us we can do it! Thank you to our participants for coming out!
Chris of The Nehemiah Community Project led the PMSA students through a workshop about vulnerability, First, the group started off with an icebreaker where they used a ball that had written questions to choose from. The students passed it to one another for one full turn around the circle. Chris then started to ask the students about what they previously thought about being vulnerable. The students shared how they practice being vulnerable with friends and how maybe they can invite more vulnerability into their friendships.
Thank you, Chris and the students, for another great conversation.
