About this Event
This is a flexible, process-driven creative space with optional prompts and ongoing facilitator support. Designed for black women, non-binary, gnc, and afab participants to create, connect, and be in community together.
Audience: Neurodivergent adults ages 18+ (Autistic, ADHD, LD, IDD, and related disabilities)
Expectations:
- This is a small group, capped at 7 participants to keep things calm, community-focused, and to allow for 1:1 instruction if needed.
- Workshops typically start with an introduction to the space and NeuroNest, a look at materials and techniques, and an optional icebreaker.
- There's usually instrumental music playing, with participants welcome to work at their own pace or talk a bit if they'd like.
- Quiet areas are in the space as well as a few sensory items.
- All materials are provided
- Individualized support from a NeuroNest instructor based on interest, needs, and pace
- Pre-session intake email to learn about preferences and creative interests.
- Community connections with other Black neurodivergent women and gender-expansive folks
- All communication styles are welcome (AAC, writing, sign, gesture, etc.) Sensory tools such as headphones, fidgets, earplugs, and weighted items are welcome.
What we'll be working on:
There will be 2 creative projects available for facilitation, including:
- Small acrylic paintings on canvas board with a demo
