Mosaic Journaling Workshop for Teens

About this event

Join us for mosaic journaling, an exploration in words and art. The workshop will be centered around self-compassion by responding to writing prompts and anxiety-mapping art techniques involving a writing prompt and an art exercise. Please note that this is not intended to serve as a therapy session. Presented by local creative coach and visual artist, Shane Manier, and local literary artist, Surabhi Kaushik. Shane Manier - creative coach, poetry mentor, spoken word performer & visual artist who believes the arts foster fulfillment, joy through inspiration & endless opportunities for growth/self-discovery. Surabhi Kaushik - Words have always been her best friend, allowing her to find comfort and joy in playing the role of a copywriter, storyteller, poet, or essayist, not necessarily in that order. After moving from India to the United States in 2015, she has been volunteering with Charlotte Mecklenburg Library, where she uses her talent to create and facilitate several writing programs to help build a strong, supportive writing community. In 2020, she was awarded the North Carolina Governor’s Award for Volunteer Service. How to Join: This program is recommended for ages 9 to 18 and will take place indoors at the South Boulevard Library. Registration is recommended but not required. To ensure everyone has the best experience and to help teens foster a sense of independence, we ask that all parents/guardians wait outside the Teen Area.
