Holiday Zoom Video On Open Houses For Survivors of RA/MC
Sunday August 14, 2:00 PM-4:00 PM Pacific Time – We’re having a get together for anybody inside who’d like to celebrate themselves and each other and our incredible journeys. Unbirthday birthday celebrations for all. Feel free to eat cake and wear a party hat and maybe even a gift to yourself/littles!
Holiday Zoom Open House Gatherings are an opportunity for survivors to come together and connect on days which can be so difficult. Drop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. You may share a meal, play some games, color or give support. This can be a chance for you to maybe have some “ok-ness” on days which are challenging and lonely.
These events are fun focused – dress to the holiday, a theme (super heroes/pajama party/sports teams), dress up or come in comfy sweats and a sweatshirt. Bring what you’d like to eat and maybe an activity you would like to do (color/puzzle/knit). A time to hang out with other survivors who “get it”. It’s all about you and making new holiday memories.
Even if you are having a hard day, you are welcome. Connecting with others who understand offers you an opportunity to be accepted just as you are. You don’t have to pretend. And in time, you may feel your mood lifting a bit and maybe even smiling a time or two. Drop in for as long as you want. No pressure.
The Holiday Open Houses will be hosted by joanies and RainSinger and will be held for 2 hours.
For questions, please contact joanies at cuppsofhope@gmail.com

HEALING H’ARTS WORKSHOPS
“No art experience necessary – It’s the process not the product”
Creative Healing H’Arts Activity For Survivors With DID
Visions of Hope (Vision Boards)
As a survivor we are often reminded of, and triggered back into our past. During this 3 hour art workshop, we are given the opportunity to look at ourselves in the present moment and think about what we want for our future. What are our hopes for the next month, the next year, or even the next 5 years. We will take time to explore our hearts’ desires and transform those desires into an art form called a vision board (I like to call them Visions of Hope). This is a video on event. You may turn your video off during your writing and when you need to tend to other tasks, but during sharing, and in our closing, videos are on.
No art experience necessary.
