Refilling Our Wells
Finding joy and reconnection in North Lawndale in Summer 2021
“Refilling Our Wells” is a series of events and exhibits with a grand kick-off on Father’s Day (June 20) and several “Wellness Sundays” thereafter, all of which will provide whole families with opportunities to learn, have fun, and direct people to resources in the community to improve their mental and physical health. Activities at these Wellness Sundays will include crafts, art therapy, yoga, healthy cooking, gardening, and storytelling. At each event, the focus will be on how these activities are beneficial to mental and physical health. A mental health professional will be present at each event to connect attendees in need to long-term care opportunities.
Additionally, there will be three installations over the summer by artists Jay Simon (Fathers Lead, June 20-July 11), Terreon Collins (HIM, July 18-August 8), and Kiara Jade (Food for Thought, August 15-September 4), all of which connect with the theme of wellness. Click below for more information.
