Art Transformations

Join us for a three-week exploration of creativity, curiosity, and new perspectives. Through the simple process of making something, taking it apart, and reimagining it in a new way, we'll discover how creative practice can help us see possibilities we might otherwise miss.

Each session includes a semi-structured, approachable art project designed to encourage experimentation rather than perfection. No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to explore, play, and be surprised by the process. Whether you're looking to reconnect with your creativity, try something new, or simply enjoy a supportive, engaging morning, this workshop offers a welcoming space to do so.

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

Workshop Dates: Saturdays, September 12th, 19th, and 26th from 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Cost: $60 for the full three-week workshop 

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.
