Painting workshop

The painting workshop enables a person with cancer to explore a new way to express his or her emotions. Painting is a diversion which, without tiring the body, entirely absorbs the spirit. The goal is to have fun and to set aside other concerns for a moment. Creativity is one key that allows access to a greater inner personal space. It is one way to enter into ourselves in a spirit of relaxation.

You do not need artistic talent or experience. Just let yourself be guided by the volunteer leading the workshop and explore through colour and form.

Workshop for people with cancer and their loved ones.
