Begin the Term With Balance and Creativity: Join Paint Night

September 7, 2021

As we launch into a new term, it’s important to set patterns around how you plan to maintain your well-being and find balance amidst the deadlines and demands. That’s why RRC offers a series of THRIVE wellness activities throughout the year. One way to find some balance and manage stress is to engaging in art-based creativity.

This Thursday, Kisa MacIsaac, RRC grad and owner of Power of Painting, will (virtually) lead you through an evening of self-care as you create your very own painting.

THRIVE events encourage balance and self-care that in turn support good mental health. All THRIVE events are offered in partnership with the RRCSA at no charge to participants and are open to staff, students, and faculty.
