ABOUT THE GROUPS
This is a support group for women, trans and non-binary folks (adults) who identify as Neurodivergent (with or without a formal diagnosis). Age 35+
We will be sharing stories, experiences, time, space, resources, strategies …and taking some practical steps towards building CREATIVE CARE PRACTICES to support ourselves and each other. It is a space to allow yourself to be vulnerable, supported, seen & heard. A space where we can be our gloriously divergent selves. IN community.
This group is for folks who are interested in stepping into more creativity and curiosity around understanding, managing and supporting themselves in their experiences of Neurodivergence.
Sharing and gathering resources, building creative care practices that reduce and soothe overwhelm… and support day-to-day balance and grounding… that allow us to step into agency and choice… to create more ease in our lives, individually AND collectively.
NO experience with art or art-making is required to attend.
Max 5 participants (for in-person cohort)
Max 8 participants (for online cohort)
REGISTRATION INCLUDES:
- 9 group sessions, 2 hrs each
- Access to shared resources page
- Access to a group conversation on Signal (optional)
- 20% discount on my workshop/group offerings for 6 months (Jan-Jun inclusive). You will receive a promo code once you’ve registered. (*this does not include my Hollyhock retreat, or other collaborative offerings).
ART IN THIS GROUP:
- We will have dedicated art-making time within each session together …after you’ve registered I’ll be in touch with more details about materials to gather for each week (for online cohorts).
- The focus of our art-making will always be rooted in building supportive/creative practices that can be repeated ….so, process over product.
- Some materials/processes that we’ll be working with: watercolour paint, fabric, slow-stitch, clay (air-dry, plastecene), collage/mixed media.
FREE CONSULTS
If you have any questions about this group, or aren’t sure it’ll be a good fit for you …please reach out if you’d like to arrange a free “more info” consult with me …either by phone or zoom.
Email (heyshauna@gmail.com), or DM (@heyheyshauna)
PAYMENT INSTALLMENTS
If the lump sum cost of this group is a barrier to you attending, I’m happy to chat about instalment payments. Please message me at heyshauna@gmail.com to make a plan!
CANCELLATIONS
If you’re registered and find yourself unable to attend, I will offer a refund or credit up to 3 days BEFORE the group start date (and possibly less IF I’m able to fill your spot before the first session). Beyond that, you will be responsible for the registration cost …though you are absolutely welcome to give your space to a friend! Again, this would need to happen before our first week together, as I will not be letting anyone new into the group after that.
SCHEDULE
WEEK 1:
- Chat about Neurodiversity/Neurodivergence, Creative Care Practices, group guidelines, introductions, art-making, discussion.
WEEKS 2-5:
- Sharing our stories …space to focus on 2 folks each session (approx 15min/each), in a way that best serves YOU. You get to decide what you’d like that to be …maybe it’s sharing personal experience, challenges, questions, ideas, requests for feedback/advice… maybe it’s sending questions or a topic to the group in advance (or in the moment), that we can jump into collectively. You get to choose. And, if this is something that brings up any uneasiness/paralysis with you I’d be happy to schedule a quick zoom chat to discuss some options in advance!
- Art-making, discussion.
WEEKS 6-9:
- More stories, sharing, discussion, art-making… I’ll have some themes/topics to bring to the group, but we’ll always prioritize going where our conversations take us.
