Monday, Dec 5th 2022 Art Therapy: 2022 Reflection Board

We’re using this last meet up to let go of 2022 and prepare for a solar new year through art. We’re going to go deep into our subconscious to create a reflection board of what we felt, thought and achieved throughout 2022. A collage of the year will help us heal and move on collectively and get ready for 2023!

We have a set of type that we will look at and you will need to read the word or phrase in the tone of voice that you feel the type is communicating. The idea is inspired by this talk: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAidpE5UW0Y&t=190s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAidpE5UW0Y&t=190s)
