Explore emotions through artistic expression with Brené Brown's framework by Natasha Moloo & Dipti Mulani
This workshop series explores 87 emotions and experiences from Brown's work through artistic expression. Each workshop pairs a specific emotion category with an art medium perfectly suited to express those feelings.
Developing precise language for emotions helps us process them more effectively. When we can name what we're feeling with specificity, we gain power over our experiences.
Our ability to connect with others is enhanced when we can accurately communicate our emotional experiences. Art provides a powerful medium for this expression.
We make meaning of our lives through the stories we tell ourselves and others. Each artwork created in our workshops connects to personal narrative.
