Sunday August 10th
The River District Social Wellness Hub, Creative Healing Vancouver and Pandora's Collective Present Expressive Arts Workshop with Dr. Bonnie Nish Time: 10am Location: Please meet at the grass area in front of the Ardea Presentation centre, between the 2 playgrounds, next to the river. Supplies: Please bring a magazine on which to put paper to draw. All other art supplies will be provided. Craving a creative tune-up? Curious about Expressive Arts? Need time to reflect or simply decompress and play? Expressive Arts is for everybody. In this two-hour workshop, we’ll explore, colour, write, and discover through the arts. No prior experience is needed—just low skill, high sensitivity, and a willingness to try. The goal is to nurture your creativity, explore blocks, and leave feeling positive and refreshed. Expressive Arts blends personal reflection with community connection. You’ll move from solo work to partnering and group sharing, creating a profound sense of belonging. Being witnessed—and witnessing others—reminds us we’re not alone, and something meaningful often emerges. What to expect: A calm, supportive space with gentle prompts to deepen your creative experience. All materials used are provided. About the facilitator: Dr. Bonnie Nish is Executive Director of Word Vancouver and Pandora’s Collective Outreach Society. She holds a Master’s in Arts Education and a PhD in Language and Literacy Education from UBC, where she currently teaches.

Pandora's Collective has been facilitating public and private workshops since 2003. Our team of poets and writers have facilitated workshops in schools, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, youth shelters, eating disorder clinics, literary festivals, community centres and more.
What makes Pandora's Collective unique is that we also offer an easily accessible literary-arts community. Participants from our workshops can attend our free public events, where they will meet other writers and build their community. This is important especially for those in transition and in need of support. |
