SUMMARY:Accessibility Feedback Sessions
DESCRIPTION:SESSION INFO: « Back to all events \nIf you are interested in making your work or ideas more accessible\, bring something you are working on (e.g. presentation\, slide deck\, article\, training materials\, poster\, etc) and anyone that joins this group can choose to provide some suggestions and feedback for you and your project\, or you can join us as an observer to learn the art of how to give and get feedback! \nOnce a month we will gather on zoom to give and receive feedback on something that we are working on. The reason we do this is because getting feedback and sharing ideas with a diverse group of people helps to improve communication and accessibility. We want everyone to understand and really get what it is we are trying to share! It is also a place for us to practice giving feedback\, because that can be difficult sometimes. \n  \nJOIN THE EXPERIENCE

SUMMARY:Musical Explorations!
DESCRIPTION:SESSION INFO:   « Back to all events \nMusic therapy is a practice in which a professional uses music to help individuals comfortably grow\, express\, explore\, and play. \nMusic can address emotional\, social\, spiritual and physical needs in a fun\, exciting and engaging way! Each session is an hour-long\, and welcomes individuals with any musical interests or abilities! Together\, we sing\, dance\, improvise\, explore instruments (including homemade)\, listen to\, and discuss beloved songs. Although our main goal in music therapy is to have an enjoyable time\, it must be known that an individual may experience unease in certain musical programs\, activities\, and discussions. This is due to the emotional nature of many musical pieces. (For example\, some songs might make an individual feel sad\, frustrated\, or angry). Music therapy can provide an individual with a safe space to address ANY feelings that may arise in a session. That said\, if an individual is finding they are not comfortable in Music Therapy\, they can withdraw from the services at any time. During these turbulent times\, music can serve as a universal comfort to help bring us together and navigate the changes in the world. Not to mention\, it can provide a great distraction from the everyday challenges we are all facing. Join us for an inclusive\, interactive\, musical experience! \n  \nJOIN THE EXPERIENCE HERE

The studio is only a 5 minutes walk from the New West Skytrain station. There is paid street parking in the area. The studio is located in the core of downtown New West where there is construction and trains so the front area of the studio is noisy. However\, the experience will take place in our backroom which is quieter as street sounds are rarely heard. The space is brightly lit to allow for better art-making. Strong smells could come from art supplies like paints\, glue\, etc. \nThe studio is ground-level and wheelchair accessible. There is no wheelchair-accessible washroom\, unfortunately. Please inform us if there is anything we can do to make the space or art-making more accessible \n  \nJOIN THE EXPERIENCE
