Here are some details for the event:
Title:
Shimmers and Glimmers
Description:
“Shimmers and Glimmers” is a creative, reflective, and fun event where we will draw, write, and share about positive moments that make us feel calm and secure. We will start with an icebreaker, where we sketch an image and write about three things that have made us smile recently. The main activity will then be choosing one of three options:
1. Draw a night sky full of stars, and in each star write something that brings you a sense of calm, connection, peace, or relief.
2. Write a thank-you letter to the last person, place, thing, or idea that has given you clarity, opened your perspective, or validated your feelings.
3. Create a list poem about activities you can do more often that would be beneficial to you.
We will close by sharing our works of art.
Materials
Paper, writing utensils (pen, pencil, markers, or crayons).
