Happy New Year dear Ones,
Thinking of you all, hope the holidays have filled you with warmth, joy, closeness, gratitude, and love - more than hurried or stressful moments.
Thank you all for being in touch and in tune with how being engaged with and practicing expressive arts can support you on your journey.
And please stay tuned for a new community-wide project I'm excited to share and to work on with everyone for the upcoming CSU Shiley Haynes Institute for Palliative Care Symposium for Palliative Care Research and Education next June!
A new Expressive Arts series in Encinitas and on Zoom will be offered starting January 23 - through March 13. Please use this link for

New 8-week Expressive Arts Series for Cancer Patients
Every Friday from January, 23rd - March 13th
'It Takes a Village‘
Taking inspiration from the African proverb 'It takes a village to raise a child', we can also see how it takes a village to accomplish just about anything meaningful in our lives, from healing to pursuing personal goals and dreams.
Join our welcoming community to play with art materials, explore, and express your experience and feelings, draw support and meaning from creating together, foster hope and resilience, acknowledge your strengths, and represent important people in your life, as well as the many roles you play.
And please remember to fill out our Patient and Family Support Services survey, for your participation in the UCSD Health Expressive Arts program. Thank you to all who have already completed this! Your feedback and input are what makes our program satisfying and sustainable! Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
much! 🙏🏼💜🤗
