Pandora's Collective Presents MASK WORKSHOP: OUTER VS. INNER YOU THROUGH THE PANDEMIC Time: 1 - 4 pm Location: 220-196 West 3rd Avenue, Vancouver The pandemic created social isolation and stress for many people as many people’s worlds shrunk. Those things which brought them joy and gave them a sense of identity disappeared in a very short time. This period has left many of us wondering how do we once again find our sense of self and purpose. In this interactive 3-hour workshop, you will find a safe place to explore the many facets of your creative internal world allowing you to once again regain your footing in the external world. No experience necessary. Workshop Facilitators: Dr. Bonnie Nish is Executive Director of Word Vancouver and Pandora’s Collective Outreach Society.

Bonnie is an Expressive Arts Therapist with a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies from the Vancouver Expressive Arts Therapy School where she is also a faculty member.
