May 17, 2026 - Jessy Mathes - Creative Expression
Ever feel like you’re "stuck" in your head or overwhelmed by the noise of life? This Sunday, May 17th, we are honored to have Jessy Mathes of Wandering Workshops lead us through a session dedicated to moving through our emotions rather than around them.
Jessy’s approach isn't about being a "perfect artist"—it’s about using creativity as a bridge to our physical sensations. Having navigated her own journey through mental health disorders and nervous system recovery, Jessy brings a deep, lived understanding of how we can use art to let our feelings out in a physical, colorful way.
