For a generation that experiences regular burnouts, it is important to engage in creative activities that go beyond one's routine work. As art has therapeutic qualities, it often soothes our minds and bodies from the constant stress of life and uses the same energy in a more positive manner. Fortunately there are multiple small collectives and artists that are presently helping people in this journey. So if you are looking for some unique sessions that can offer an outlet for your creativity, here are a few homegrown workshops on our radar.
