ART + HEALTH Residencies Take Off!

Hello Fans!

The holidays were busy as usual and blessed for sure. 

Now we're into the New Year and I have officially launched a NEW PROGRAM that solidifies my work this past year.

"WHAT IS THAT?" (I hear you asking 😊)

It is the 3-pronged creative engagement initiative I rolled out as an experiment in 2025, designed to inspire, heal, immerse, and encourage community members through performance, participatory learning, and visual art-making.  

Yes, blending my interdisciplinary background as an award-winning author, performer, educator, and fine artist, the program integrates:
  • A performance-based humanities experience grounded in the life and legacy of Florence Nightingale (several iterations available, including [Lunch/Dinner/HighTea] " Nightingale’s Leadership Lessons” for small groups. (Perhaps a fun ‘exclusive' for the BOD?
  • Applied improvisation workshops that build communication, resilience, and human connection (especially useful for leaders and teams in risk-averse industries, married couples, and others with TBI and/or PTSD),
  • AND>>> Accessible fine art teaching programs [paint-alongs] that foster reflection, self-expression, and community belonging (youth and adult programs, also great for PTSD sufferers).
So, what do you think? I've been very pleased with the reactions of the groups I've been with. "Such FUN and such good learning!" said one happy event organizer.

If this sounds like something you'd like to explore for your community group, please do reach out! 


And keep WARM, y'all!

Blessings,
Candy
