STAMFORD — The Headwaters Arts Center and Stamford Wellness Center will launch a monthly Women’s Art & Wellness Studio in October, offering a space for women to explore creative activities while focusing on mindfulness, connection and personal well-being.
The group will meet from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month, beginning Oct. 1, at Headwaters Arts Center, 66 Main St.
The sessions will be led by Carrie Sutton, MHC-LP, and Kristin Stevenson. Organizers describe the program as a support group rather than an art class, using creative activities, prompts and discussion to encourage self-awareness, resilience and community.
Each meeting will begin with a simple creative exercise intended to help participants relax and focus. Participants will then have an opportunity to discuss their experiences in a supportive setting.
The program is free, with a suggested donation of $5. Registration is required through the Roxbury Arts Group website at roxburyartsgroup.org
