Catharsis with AñA Wojak

Catharsis* (from Greek κάθαρσις) is the purification and purgation of emotions through art, or any extreme change in emotion that results in renewal and restoration.

This experiential workshop channels an expressive response to grief… remembrance… celebration… connection with past loved ones through breath, movement & vocalisation.
