An Expressive Arts Webinar for Navigating Uncertainty

Thursday, May 14 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Add to Calendar 2026-05-14 12:00:00 2026-05-14 13:00:00 An Expressive Arts Webinar for Navigating Uncertainty We are living in a time of ongoing uncertainty - and also of creativity, connection, and unexpected joy. Both things are true at once. This webinar invites you to explore that tension not just through analysis, but through art. Through a simple, grounding drawing practice. Through a few lines of poetry. Through the act of making something with your hands and attention. Drs. Leanna Reyes, Tina X. Wang, and Sabina Brown will guide you through three connected experiences: Dr. Leanna Reyes opens with a warm, accessible look at what uncertainty does to our minds and bodies — and why learning to hold mixed emotions is a skill, not a personality trait. Dr. Tina X. Wang leads a guided mandala drawing exercise. No artistic experience is needed, and there is no right or wrong outcome. This practice uses repetition and gentle focus to help regulate the nervous system, offering a way to stay present while your mind begins to settle. Dr. Sabina Brown closes with a short poetry writing exercise. You'll leave with something you made - a few lines that are entirely your own. You don’t need to be an artist. You don’t need to be a poet. You just need to show up. The goal isn’t to fix uncertainty, but to feel a little more at home inside it. All are welcome. In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, FSAP is offering a series of webinars throughout May.
