Sound Off! A Women Veterans' Art and Wellness Program

About This Event

“Sound Off!” is a 9-week art and wellness program designed by and for women veterans who have experienced Military Sexual Trauma (MST), intimate partner violence, and gender-based discrimination.  The cohort will meet weekly for trauma-informed creative workshops to process their military experience, share their stories, and build community.  The weekly wellness activities include writing sessions and guided expressive art-making such  as paper making from uniforms, automatic painting, creating personal tapestries, and more. The program culminates in a story-sharing performance which will celebrate the courage and resistance of these women veterans.
