Carried by the Wind: Expressive Arts Grief Workshop

This workshop is open to adults, and registration is required.

Through nature connection, art making, and ritual, this expressive arts workshop offers a supportive space for individuals experiencing grief to honor loved ones. Starting in the Josephine Sculpture Park event barn and then heading out onto the peaceful trails, participants will engage in reflective practices inspired by the symbolism of wind as a carrier of memory, messages, and connection.

Artist Mollie Rabiner will share her process behind creating JSP’s forthcoming Wind Phone installation. Then, licensed art therapist Danielle Creamer will facilitate a guided nature walk, collaborative altar creation, expressive art-making, and closing letter ritual. Participants are invited to acknowledge grief as a continuing expression of love.

This program is open to adults and does not require previous art experience. The focus is on personal expression, reflection, and community support.

JSP’s Wellness in the Wild program strengthens community health through outdoor movement, the arts, and connection. The wind phone project is in partnership with the Kentucky Center for Grieving Children & Families and is supported by grants from South Arts and Kentucky Arts Council, the state arts agency, which is supported by state tax dollars and federal funding from the National Endowment for the Arts.
