The WorkshopS


  • An onsite retreat in ½ day- 2 days or a virtual series.

    These energizing and restorative play-based workshops include live performance, immersive theater, and art based prompts to help caregivers creatively address compassion fatigue, grief and bias from within. Through playful investigation and reflection, each creative arts workshop is designed to raise awareness and mend the impact of burnout and secondary traumatic stress while fostering joy, empowerment, and resiliency. As seen on PBS.

  • A 1 hour workshop for up to 50 participants

    Participants reconnect to their creative selves in a safe, virtual environment as professional artists lead participants in self-reflection, art activities, movement, laughter, and play. Participants experience a deep sense of care, belonging and meaning as they connect to themselves and each other in an artistic way that allows for stronger community, and deeper relationships with themselves and their co-workers. Creative Care brings humanity, the arts, and care together in a way that energizes and restores participants during a work day.

  • A 45 minute virtual workshop for up to 18 participants.

    Individualized creative virtual interactions designed to reveal and mend the impact of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and compassion fatigue.
