Our event begins at 11:00 am, on the 2nd floor of Koffler House, 569 Spadina Ave
Nathania Rodman, a Professionally Trained Art Therapist, will serve as a guide for us to experience the healing qualities that Art Therapy possesses.
She will begin by providing an overview of Art Therapy and then move to a workshop format and invite us to create. The creating will serve as a visual voice, symbolic of our hopes, dreams, concerns, and wishes. In closing, everyone will be provided with the opportunity to share their creations, if they choose to, and ask any questions they may have for Nathania.

Our featured musician this week will be Dana Swarbrick. Dana is a singer-songwriter originally from Ottawa who found her voice in Hamilton and is now refining her sound in Toronto. Her sets feature a mixture of covers and her original music, inspired by blues, jazz, and folk that is reminiscent of artists like Norah Jones. Dana enjoys sharing the latest research in the neuroscience of music. She creates an emotional experience with her music and enlightens audience members with the neural underpinnings shaping their experience.
