Sunflower Soul Project info:
"The Sunflower Soul Project is a trauma-informed care initiative that uses art as a means of promoting healing, self-expression and well-being. Its mission is to provide a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their inner selves through creative expression. By combining art, storytelling, and community building, the Sunflower Soul Project strives to enhance mental, emotional, and spiritual healing, while also aiding individuals in cultivating a deeper sense of self-awareness. It is a resource for individuals to connect with one another, explore creativity, share stories, and engage in a therapeutic process that honors unique experiences while supporting one another on their healing journey. We aim to create a positive impact on the lives of those who connect with their art, uplift and empower individuals to overcome adversity while building resilience."
