ABOUT HOLIDAY hARTS
The Holiday hArts program is an online open art-based space that runs every year to bridge the gap in December and January when many people experience service and support withdrawal alongside increased stress and need for connection. There is no requirement to attend the group once you receive the email or attend every group. You can join the space at any time in the session window below.
