INVITATION 🌸
I’m thrilled to be part of a HUGE event called 京都みやこEXPO (Kyoto Miyako – We Are the Pre-EXPO) happening next Sunday, March 9, in Kyoto! 🎉 I’ll be hosting a community art therapy workshop, and I’d love for you to join. Entrance is FREE!
More info (in Japanese) here: https://kyoto.p-ex.net/

This will be an outstanding event - an intercultural festival filled with live concerts, dance performances, public talks, art showcases, and food stalls featuring flavors from around the world. They’re expecting over 10,000 visitors, and you should be one of them!

🌟 While the outside stage will be buzzing with energy, I’ll be INSIDE in the artists' area. If you need a break from the lively atmosphere, come to the second floor for some quiet time, mindfulness, reflection, and creativity.

Come and participate in our community art therapy project—a space to express yourself, connect, and recharge. I’ll also be sharing resources and therapy tips, so stop by and say hi!

Can’t wait to see you there! 💛
