When Fear and Bravery Collide

  Creative Joy Lab is a playful, fully guided 6-session creative experience for women who want to reconnect with joy, creativity, and community without the pressure of being “good” at art. Led by an occupational therapist, this welcoming in-person series invites participants to explore a variety of creative modalities — including movement, drama, visual art, music, tactile art, and creative writing — in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment focused on process over perfection.

Each session is designed to help women unwind, experiment, laugh, collaborate, and express themselves freely through intentionally imperfect and often humorous creative activities. This is not an art class and not therapy, but it is deeply restorative and connection-centered. No creative experience is needed — only a willingness to show up, try something new, and make a joyful mess together.

At Creative Joy Lab, participants are encouraged to:

• Explore creativity without pressure or performance 
• Experiment with different forms of artistic expression 
• Collaborate and connect with other women 
• Practice being seen without needing to get things “right” 
• Engage in creativity as a meaningful form of self-care and play 

All materials are provided. We offer applause only — no critique, competition, or pressure to share personally unless you choose to.

✨ Creative Joy Lab meets every other Monday from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Session Dates:

• June 15 
• June 29 
• July 13 
• July 27

 Brave Survivor Circle is a free monthly online community gathering for women who have experienced abuse in any form — including physical, emotional, psychological, relational, workplace, medical, or institutional harm.

This is not a therapy group or crisis support. It is a creative, connection-centered space designed for survivors to be in community with other women who understand.

Each month we gather on Zoom for light creative activities, thoughtful discussion, and meaningful connection. Participation is always optional. You are welcome to share or simply listen.

Led by Lucia Severtson, licensed psychotherapist, founder of the Brave Women’s Community Center, and host of the Brave Hearts Speak podcast.

Free. Online. Monthly. Registration required.

 Finding Your Voice

A 6-Week Writing & Expression Group for Women

Begins May 12 | Tuesdays, 6:30–8:00 PM MST | Runs through June 16 | Online

Finding Your Voice is a 6-week, trauma-informed writing and creative expression group for women who are ready to reconnect with their voice, identity, and sense of self beyond past experiences.

Through guided writing prompts, reflection, and collaborative exercises, participants explore not only their stories, but also the parts of themselves connected to creativity, courage, joy, and possibility. This is not just about processing the past, but expanding into who you are becoming.

The group is relational and community-based, with opportunities for optional sharing, witnessing, and connection with other women in a supportive, non-judgmental space. There is both depth and lightness woven throughout, with an emphasis on creativity, expression, and taking meaningful risks at your own pace.

No writing experience is required, just a willingness to explore and engage.
