Current and past caregivers are invited to participate in the next of our free Art of Unburdening workshops on Wednesday, April 1, with artist LeeAnn Love. The workshop will be held at First United Methodist Church in Murfreesboro. (This workshop, originally planned for February 18, was rescheduled due to illness.)

Using assemblage, collage, and personal memorabilia, participants will create a Life Well Lived box showcasing their loved one’s strengths, important memories, and life experiences. We will email suggestions for items you may want to bring from home.  No experience necessary.
