This workshop is open to adult survivors 18+, who are IL residents, all genders welcome. Appropriate participants may be anyone who has experienced sexual violence, including harassment, abuse, or assault. No previous artmaking experience necessary.

Visual journaling is a reflective process that involves exploring concepts, ideas, and thoughts with art and images in order to understand and create personal meaning. Connect with other survivors of sexual violence while using narrative writing and art expression as a coping strategy. Learn how you can develop this visual process on your own to continue developing a contemplative practice for yourself.
