WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Beyond the Surface: Exploring Teen Emotions with We Are All the Same Inside ® Sage Dolls
This hands-on and / or hybrid workshop invites teen participants to engage in a creative process using pre-made We Are All the Same Inside ® Sage dolls. Participants will personalize their doll to visually represent the image they project to the outside world. Through this artistic expression, the workshop will facilitate an exploration of the complex emotions and inner experiences that may or may not be transparent in their outward presentation. By manipulating materials and reflecting on their creations, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of their own emotional landscape and celebrate our shared human experience. This workshop can be presented in person or online (synchronous).
