DETAILS

CareFirstNY invites you to our new Paint & Heal: Seasons of Change, a quarterly grief support series designed to explore loss, healing, and reflection through creative expression. Life often shifts in ways that mirror the changing seasons—sometimes quietly, sometimes dramatically. This series offers space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the beauty around us. The series includes one acrylic painting session each season throughout 2026, (February 6, May 1, August 7, and November 6). Each session will feature a unique seasonal theme and artwork, guiding participants to create a painting that reflects the season while providing space to express emotions and find moments of healing. No prior art experience is needed - all supplies provided. Final Session: Harvesting Hope Friday, Nov 6, 2026 | 6-8 PM Location: CareFirstNY Registration Fee: $45 per person Group size limited to 12 participants for a supportive, intimate experience. Facilitated by Cynthia Cratsley in collaboration with 171 Cedar Arts, with support from CareFirstNY’s grief support team. Open to anyone seeking a gentle, creative approach to grief support.
