About This Gathering:
As the Psychedelic Art Therapy Network grows, we invite facilitators and healers to pause, reflect, and create. In this supportive space, you'll craft intuitive "cards for healers"—visual reminders of the values, ideas, and intentions you want to bring into your work over the next year.
Using collage materials, playing cards, black square canvases, MetroCards, and tarot decks for inspiration, you'll create personal artifacts that speak to:
What you want to cultivate in your practice
Core values and beliefs you want to center
What you're ready to release or transform
Art Materials Swap:
Bring those art supplies you've been meaning to use! We'll host a materials swap where you can cleanse, share, and release any shame about never picking that thing back up. Give your unused supplies a new home and discover treasures from fellow creatives.
