“The Story Trees: Practicing Hope and Resiliency in Tough Times” This interactive workshop invites participants to explore their personal stories of resilience and faith through an expressive arts activity called The Story Trees. Using simple materials, we will reflect on how our experiences shape our journey and strength. No art experience is required—just a willingness to engage in a meaningful and supportive space.
