Harmonizing the Waves of Awareness

Led by Withlove, Felicia, this free workshop will explore a blend of self-care tools. Join us to experience deep relaxation, self discovery and a renewed sense of balance and well being for the year ahead.

Felicia Casher, lovingly known as WithloveFelicia, is a luminous poet, educator, and community arts healer rooted in Omaha, Nebraska. Her artistry flows seamlessly into her mission as a connector, weaving together creative expression and cultural healing through spoken word and transformative workshops. Celebrated for her powerful affirmations and deep reverence for heritage, her work has earned her two Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards, numerous community honors, and a coveted spot on the TEDx stage, where she spoke passionately about community engagement.

A midwestern transplant with roots in Philadelphia’s electric spoken-word scene of the 90s, Casher co-founded Daughters of the Diaspora, a poetry collective born in collaboration with her late sister and eternal inspiration, NaTanya Davina Stewart. Returning to Omaha, she co-launched Verbal Gumbo, a 12-year spoken-word series amplifying diverse voices and nurturing the spirit of artistic activism.

Now back in Philadelphia, Casher’s influence radiates further through partnerships with organizations like the Philly Truce Foundation, Iron Sharpens Iron, The Folk Arts School, and Philadelphia Public Schools. Here, she blends education and entertainment—her signature “edutainment”—to immerse youth in culturally enriching journeys.

Beyond the stage, Casher channels her creativity into a heartfelt greeting card line in honor of her late mother and is crafting a children’s book that promises to inspire generations. Her work remains a vibrant testament to the power of words, culture, and community as tools for transformation.

Skill Builds are a monthly workshop dedicated to sharing a human-centered and creative approach to community work. On the first Saturday of every month, ArtWell hosts a guest facilitator to teach on a range of topics from creating multiple entry points to activities, identifying maltreatment of youth, event planning, giving and receiving feedback, and more. Regardless of vocation, career focus, or level of experience, ArtWell welcomes all who seek to be a part of a learning community.
