What is Art-Soul-Health?
Art-Soul-Health offers retreats and workshops designed to support the wellbeing of people in service—nonprofit staff, volunteers, social workers, faith leaders, caregivers, and community organizers. Through guided engagement with art, movement, writing, and reflection, we create space for authentic connection, creative restoration, and renewed purpose.

Each workshop is thoughtfully designed to include:
What are some workshop options?
Full-day
This option provides the fullest experience for an embodied, artistic process which includes personal and collective reflection. All participants will conclude the day with a personal piece of art, handouts, and a toolbox of self-care practices to integrate into their daily lives. The day includes six hours of creative engagement and one hour for lunch.
Two and a Half Hour Workshop
The 2.5 hour experience explores a challenging concept through embodied practice, art-making, and integration. One workshop example is "Flow, Flexibility and Finding Spaces," where we assisted young professionals in New York City to move out of constriction into spaciousness and creative response to problems.
45 Minute Creative Practice
This light-hearted option guides participants through a brief and accessible creative process, providing a pause in a busy schedule.

You are humans who make and do stuff every day. Our goal is not to have art to hang in the Met or perform at Carnegie Hall. We move step by step through the creative process so that your team feels supported and is successful.
At one workshop Charlie, a skeptic, introduced himself by saying, "I don't want to be here." By the end of the day he exclaimed, "This was fabulous! I loved it." We got you.
Can we do this by Zoom?
Some workshops are available online for remote events.
Is this art therapy?
Our creative process is restorative, inspiring, and beneficial to your community wellness. While participants often experience these workshops as therapeutic, Art-Soul-Health does not provide therapy.
What is the cost?
Pricing depends upon length of workshop and number of participants. We want to work with your organization's size, budget, and needs to make this possible.
What makes Art-Soul-Health different?
