Club Creative: Creative Arts Inspired Social Connections Group for Girls ages 8-12
For girls who love a little creativity when learning about feelings and friends.
Creative Arts, mindfulness and yoga are fantastic ways to build social skills and emotional confidence. We teach girls to calm their inner chaos (also called dysregulation) without having to use words because let’s face it- sometimes words are hard. We use art to teach girls to express themselves in a way that makes most sense to them. This group is designed for all our friends who can’t explain, or even comprehend all the emotions they have. Even more, we use creative arts to also teach social skills!
