Yatooma Foundation Collaboration

Yatooma Foundation supports children and adolescents bringing hope to tragedy after the loss of a parent. Collaborating with Drama Therapy and Art Therapy a program titled The Art of Grieving. This workshop connected participants with three stations, exploring embodied movement, connecting with the messiness of emotions using shaving cream and paint printmaking techniques. We then used these pages to place into a pre-bound book with prompts to help youth with writing the story of the loss. and then creating a three dimensional symbol of strength using clay to make a book mark, remembering to pause in our grief as it takes time to heal.
