Healing with Art & Yoga
An evening of relaxation, meditation & education — light yoga, an art activity & discussion about art & mental health
About this event
Beginning with a calming Kundalini breathing exercise led by Anne Koller—artist, author, peacemaker—participants will follow an emotional tracking exercise. Then, Lydia Ferraro—school-based psychologist & art therapist—will add a splash of art activity and reflection. Dr. Danessa Mayo—clinical psychologist and CEO & founder of My Good Brain—looks to play around with art techniques to cope with mental health issues brought on by the pandemic. Some of our presenters will answer questions during a wrap-up Q&A, providing tools to understand mood, offer fun creative outlets, and ultimately bolster mental health management.
My Good Brain Launch Day
You are cordially invited to our online My Good Brain Launch Day Party!
Date: 3/6/2021
Time: 5-7pm PST
While we wish we could host an in-person event to mark the momentous occasion, it’s just not the time. We hope to have one in the near future when things are safer for all.
Join us for a virtual and relaxed get-together on AltSpace VR! We wanted to host a one-of-a-kind party, so we thought why not an AltSpace VR event? You don't need a VR headset to join, you can use a PC or Mac and attend wherever your are.
Event party is chill and free to attend! Tell everyone you know to join us!
We’re excited to share what we’re busy working on and hopeful that we can get your generous donation support to make it happen.
Come stop by and get to know My Good Brain, our mission, and plans for the year ahead.
