LET'S CREATE AND EXPRESS!
Dedicated to the idea that engaging in activities that promote self-expression promotes health and wellness, SYL is committed to delivering creative offerings to the populations served by nonprofit organizations that cannot afford these activities. SYL also collaborates with for-profit organizations in efforts to support health and wellness in their communities and to support nonprofit organizations.
PAINT PARTIES AND CREATIVE ACTIVITIES
SYL hosts paint parties anywhere, ranging from: schools, senior centers, parks, recreational areas, homeless shelters, summer camps, after-school programs, and more. Detailed instructions and necessary supplies are included. SYL can accommodate large groups and all ages are welcomed. The paint experience or the creative activity is discussed and personalized based on your needs.
ONE HOUR PAINT PARTIES
Looking for a quick wellness getaway? 1-hour paint parties work well for classroom settings, special events, and for individuals experiencing mental health or physical limitations.
TWO TO THREE HOUR PAINT PARTIES
Perfect for team building, family engagement, and therapeutic recreation!
CREATIVE ACTIVITIES
Have a unique idea in mind? SYL has a variety of crafts and would love to come up with a unique project with you outside of the traditional "paint experience".
YOGA & MOVEMENT MINDFULNESS
Schedule up to 1 hour of Yoga or Movement Mindfulness!
SYL values how movement provides an opportunity to freely express yourself in your mind, body, and soul. Through yoga and movement mindfulness, we aim to create an environment where you feel open to come as you are; let go of the rest of your day and enjoy every moment – pose by pose.
While a facilitator will provide you with instruction every step of the way, we encourage you to find what feels good within yourself; lead with your heart, and enjoy the free expression occurring throughout your body that movement brings out in you.
Offerings include:
- Kids Yoga
- Trauma Informed Yoga
- Family Engagement Yoga or Mindfulness Movement
- Yoga for Beginners
- Mindfulness Movement
