Feb 14 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

This Valentine’s Day, let’s plant the seeds of improved body and self-image through a fun and interactive art project!

No previous art experience required! Our Body Image Peer Health Educators will provide all necessary art supplies as well as prompts to help guide you through the process of cultivating compassion for your body and how you see yourself.

Like the diverse trees in a forest, we are all uniquely beautiful, strong, and resilient. Just as trees differ in shape, size, and color, we too grow at our own pace and in our own extraordinary ways. Join us in exploring how your tree is uniquely special and deserving of love.

Free snacks (while supplies last) and the chance to win exciting raffle prizes!
