Wicked – Musical Theater Therapy Group

Step into the Spotlight with Our 6-Week Wicked-Themed Musical Theater Therapy Group!

Ages 10–13 | Fridays, 1–2 PM | July 18 – Aug 22 | Cost: $100

Calling all rising stars! In this imaginative and empowering group, participants will build confidence, boost self-esteem, and explore their creative side through movement, play, and theatrical expression—all inspired by the themes and characters of Wicked.

Through guided activities like role-play, choreography, and character exploration, kids will “try on” different parts of themselves in a safe and supportive space. They’ll even create their own magic wands, symbolizing the unique magic each holds inside.

This group will help young individuals:

Strengthen self-expression and confidence
Form new friendships and build community
Develop creative coping skills
Embrace their authentic selves

Together, we’ll explore powerful themes from Wicked—like friendship, identity, and what it really means to be “good”—while dancing, laughing, reflecting, and growing along the way. Join us and defy expectations, onstage and within yourself!

Outdoor Fiber Arts Group

Weaving Community Together

Ages 8 and up | Tuesdays, 1–2 PM | June 17 – July 22 | Cost: $100

Learn life-long skills for emotional regulation and resilience, one stitch at a time!

Bring your existing skills and discover new ones as we explore fiber arts such as finger weaving, God’s eyes, and knitting. Each group will center around a theme that reflects both personal and collective identity, inviting us to learn not only traditional handiwork but also more about ourselves and one another. Fiber arts have long supported self-sufficiency, mindfulness, emotional regulation, resilience, connection, and a sense of belonging. Join this rich lineage as we engage in the ancestral practices of tying, weaving, and threading—together in community, while experimenting, discovering, and growing. Open to ages 8 and up, this group embraces a village-minded, ecosystemic approach. Come collaborate, connect, and unravel with us.
