Here are some details for the event:

Title:
Falling Away

Description:
“Falling Away” is a creative, reflective, and fun event where we will draw and write about how we’re doing this fall season. We will begin with an icebreaker, sketching an image and completing the sentence: “I’m learning how to better ______.”

The main activity will then be choosing one of three options:

1. Draw a collection of fall leaves, writing a habit or behavior you want to change, adjust, or improve on each leaf.
2. Write a brain dump journal entry or poem titled “This Year in Review.”
3. Create a word cloud that includes words describing you and how you’re feeling this fall.

We will close by sharing our works of art.

Materials:
Paper, writing utensils (pen, pencil, markers, or crayons).

Schedule
2:00 – 2:20: Introductions and Ice breaker
2:20 – 3:00: Main Activity
3:00 – 3:30: Sharing and Closing

Hope to see you there!
