Invisible Travel Bag: A Journey of Resilience
Join us on an empowering journey as we provide tools and support for transitional-age students to fill their Invisible Travel Bag with resilience, self-awareness, and a vibrant tapestry of coping skills that will ultimately prepare them for the exciting yet challenging adventure of independent living. The journey begins with self-reflection, engaging each of the five senses with mindful movement for identifying mood, feelings, and thoughts with the help of a visual map called "Wonderland." The power of poetry is the vehicle for transcendence, allowing expression of innermost thoughts and sensations. This immersive, virtual session in mindful activation is intended to enhance healthy coping skills, fortify protective factors, and nurture meaningful connections with peers within the high school setting.
This series is funded by the Los Angeles County Arts Ed Collective in partnership with Flourish Agenda, and the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.
