Gratitude practices have been found to create physical changes in our brains. It’s not about denying reality, or only thinking happy thoughts, as most critics claim. It’s a way to create some space between our automatic thoughts and our feelings. It helps us pause long enough to notice how we have been thinking about our lives, and it provides an opportunity to take a slightly different perspective.\n\nDuring this “Gratitude Bowl” making workshop, we will form our bowls using plaster gauze and decorate with scraps of paper and paint. Once complete, you may use your bowls to hold little reminders of all the wonderful things you are thankful for throughout the year.\n\nAll supplies will be provided, and may include various papers, paints, collage materials, adhesives, plaster gauze, and bowl “armatures”. Bring your willingness to play, and your desire to connect and share!\n\nBeginner\n\nArtist Bio:\nKara Ashley-Gilmore believes in the use of our innate creativity for our wellness and healing. She is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Art Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and a mixed-media artist at the Art Place Studios, in Hendersonville. As an artist, Kara paints intuitively, often incorporating bright colors with layers of paint, text, and collage, to process life and express themes of hope and encouragement. Art-making has always been an important part of her self-care, and her studio is her personal space to experiment and play. Ultimately, all of her work is about helping people be more creative, use their creativity for personal growth, and incorporate creativity into their daily lives. Her art therapy workshops are tailored to those who appreciate opportunities for creative exploration–with gentle guidance–in a non-judgemental, quiet atmosphere.\n \Location:\n\n2021 Asheville Hwy\nHendersonville, NC 28791
