CHAC Announces Teacher Recertification Credit Available Through Adams State College!

Attend any four sessions of "A Fresh Look at Death" and receive one half credit hour teacher recertification credit. Class runs in October. Register for all six classes and receive one class free.

A 6 week course of therapeutic art workshops exploring death and life offered by CHAC & Heart Therapy in conjunction with Dia de los Muertos, lead by Certified Systemic Art Therapist, Art & Museum Educator, Julie Marino. 

To the Mexican mind, death is viewed as a transition of life, a normal stage in the circle of life on earth, and a natural progression…not an ending.

The goal of these art making workshops is to:
• Shed some light on the subject of death by taking a look at  another culture’s perspective, namely Mexico.
• Grapple with your own views / fears of death
• Provide an avenue to grieve the loss of a loved one
• Experience the benefit of group interaction
• Complete the course with a renewed sense of living life to the fullest

Week 1, Duality-Life &Death
Week 2, The Mayan view of the cycle of Life and Death
Week 3, Christ’s view of Death and Life
Week 4, Fears of Death and Hopes of the Hereafter
Week 5, Dia de los Muertos and commemorating the death of a loved one
Week 6, Accepting our own mortality and living life to the fullest

Cost is $35.00 per class and includes all art materials. No art experience necessary. Class is held at CHAC 774 Santa Fe Dr. Denver, CO 80204. For more information call Julie @ 303-521-0653 or email julie@chacweb.org
