CREATIVITY LAB

Feeling a little stiff, stuck, or stale? The Creativity Lab is a 6-week in-person art group for adults who want to add a touch of playfulness back into their lives. It’s not a yoga group or an art class, but we will use light movement and creative experiments to help us find safety in trying new things and joy in not being perfect.

If “letting loose” sounds a little scary, know that this group is all about gentle invitations and honoring your own pace. No prior experience necessary.

Who: Adults curious about exploring creativity in a supportive, nonjudgmental space

When: Weekly for 6 sessions on Wednesdays from October 14th through November18th; 4:30pm-5:30pm

Cost: $80 for the entire series

Where: Renew’s Community Room: 3925 Blenheim Blvd Unit 52-B, Fairfax, VA 22030

ABOUT GROUP LEADER, MINDY VAN WART : RESIDENT IN COUNSELING & PROVISIONAL ART THERAPIST

Hi there, I’m Mindy, a Resident in Counseling and Provisional Art Therapist trained in trauma-informed art therapy, IFS, CBT, and sand tray therapy. My work is also shaped by person-centered, existential, and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe art opens powerful pathways for self-awareness and authentic healing by engaging both the mind and body.

My own journey with art deepened through personal growth workshops and retreats, where I experienced firsthand how creative expression can unlock insight, connection, and transformation. That experience continues to inform how I hold space for others.

I have a special interest in supporting individuals navigating grief and loss, anxiety, codependency, religious trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. It is truly an honor to offer a supportive space where you can feel seen, validated, and gently encouraged in your growth.
