Arts & crafts is a less formal way, of allowing individuals to express themselves. Doing a group session outdoors, using natures gifts allows a person the freedom of restricted thought. It allows a person to experience awe and wonder. This is something that returns value to someone who feels their life has been de-valued and engages hope

The Arts and Craft group is held on Tuesdays 

Time 10:30-11:30

Photography is an excellent tool to engage the brain with the beauty of nature, to see the wonder of life and to allow individuals to share that momentary experience with others, in an extremely positive manner
