Join AARC Creatives: Exploring Ourselves through Intuitive Art Making, Thursday, October 23, 2025

October 20, 2025 by Emily Eisbruch

All are invited to join the AARC Creatives on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at 7pm. Seth Kopald will lead the group, which will be hosted at the home of Debbie Zivan. Contact Debbie djzivan@gmail.com to RSVP and receive directions to her home.

Seth will lead an activity about exploring ourselves through intuitive art making. Please bring some of your favorite art materials like markers or pencils, etc. If not, we will have some extra. 

More info from Seth:

Hello everyone.
I’m looking forward to our experience together!
In addition to your favorite pens, markers, pencils, etc, please bring an art pad if you have one.  They have quality ones at the 5 and Below ($5 or less) store near Plum Market on Maple. They also have really nice art supplies, surprisingly. Below is a picture of the mixed media pad I like.
But if you don’t have time, don’t worry because I’ll bring a pad (and art supplies) and we can tear a piece out for you. 
Regarding the topic of Exploring Ourselves through Intuitive Art Making, and if you like having processing time, you can begin to think about areas of your life where you want a shift or more clarity. This could be in relationship to others or a topic you wrestle with internally. But pick something that does not create a strong activation and lots of emotion. We can keep this light. Perhaps you simply want to get to know yourself better, like: “Why do I do this or that?” 
Also, you do not have to disclose anything personal to the group to do this activity. You may want to, if you feel called. To be witnessed can be very healing. And you will be witnessed, just by showing your work (also optional). 
Please let me know if you have any questions
Warmly,
Seth
