SUMMARY:Doodling Workshop for Stress Relief
DESCRIPTION:May is Mental Health Health Awareness Month! Join local art 
 therapist Tova Speter for a therapeutic art workshop exploring the 
 meditative art of Zentangle doodling. Participants will engage in mindful 
 doodling techniques that encourage presence\, relaxation and self 
 expression - no art experience required. The guided session will highlight 
 the ways intentional drawing can support stress relief\, foster a sense of 
 calm and accomplishment\, and nurture emotional well-being. \n\n \n\nAbout 
 the presenter: Tova Speter is a local artist and art therapist with a 
 Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy from Lesley 
 University. She has over 25 years of experience working at the intersection 
 of arts and healing as well as facilitating large scale collaborative art 
 projects to build community and connection (including our recent Leaves in 
 the Library project). Tova offers art therapy services through her private 
 practice\, leads therapeutic art workshops for adults\, and works as a 
 practicing painter\, installation artist\, and community muralist. All of 
 her work is based on her belief that engaging in art-making is inherently 
 therapeutic and formative. \n\n \n\nThis program is in partnership with the 
 Newton Health & Human Services Department. The workshop is geared towards 
 adults\, but teens and tweens are also welcome.
