You Aren't Alone Creative Relief Mini-Retreat

​Join the You Aren't Alone Project for a one day Creative Relief Retreat designed for people of all backgrounds to engage in creative expression exercises and discussions as a tool for mental health, self-care, support and solace in a safe and collaborative environment.

​Spend the afternoon with us exploring how creativity and mental health intersect to support your overall wellbeing. We'll start with a meditation and movement exercise, then hear from guest artists and mental health and wellness practitioners, and wrap up with a creative mental health workshop for tangible tools you can take with you and use in your daily life.

​You do not have to be a practicing artist to attend. We just ask that you come with a creative mindset and an openness to the healing power of art and connection.

​The You Aren’t Alone Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating & changing conversations around mental health so that no one ever has to feel alone.

​We offer community programming, events, and resources that bring people together over shared creative journeys to foster holistic connections and we aim to do it all at a very low to no cost.

​By tapping into the power of art and storytelling, we create safe, supportive, and inclusive spaces that encourage positive mental health & wellbeing.

​From the founder: While healing is a continuous journey and I am far from done, I have spent the last 10 years building spaces and collecting the tools that I wish I had when I was younger. Through that process, I obtained my Masters in Mental Health Counseling and have used that training to grow YAAP. The project started in Louisiana and I am excited to bring our programs to San Francisco and beyond. I hope you'll join for the first in what we hope to be regularly scheduled gatherings.
