Art4Healing is an abstract method of painting created by Laurie Zagon. It supports emotional healing through art and creative expression for those living with pain, grief, fear, or stress. Art4Healing allows participants to learn a new way of communicating through color that encourages emotional breakthroughs and further enhances the therapy process. The creative process and emotional healing often interest when words are not adequate. It’s like a secret code. Only you know what is on the canvas.

This abstract style of art helps to give pain a voice and meaning.  Art doesn’t always have to be pretty. It can get messy like our feelings. No painting experience is required. It’s a connection of colors and feelings.

Though yoga consists of various postures, yoga’s greatest gift is the ability to be still. Hatha Yoga for Healing helps us find a place of powerful relaxation- where we can release our tightly wound tensions, and deeply reconnect to ourselves. This class combines a classical movement practice consisting of pranayama (breathing technique) and asana (physical postures) with bioenergetic healing methods that help unwind and pacify our systems, allowing us to process our emotions and promote ease and well being for body and mind.

Jessica Wentlent (Osborne) is an experienced registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 200), a registered prenatal yoga teacher (RPYT), and a certified Pilates mat instructor. Jessica studied authentic Hatha Yoga at the world-renowned yoga school Sivananda in Neuville-aux-Bois, France.
