Feeling stuck
Event Details
Feeling stuck with journaling? Has it become more of a “should” rather than something that feels helpful and fun? Join Holly Zazo, UAC member and teaching artist, to learn creative journaling techniques that you can easily use at home.
In this group we’ll transform your journal pages into layered works of art, where your writing can be partially—or completely—covered. Your thoughts are still expressed, honored, and released… but safely held.
No pressure to reread.
No pressure to share.
Just the process.
You’ll learn how to:
- Let go of the pressure to “do it right”
- Use art journaling as a form of emotional expression
- Explore different styles of journaling (guided prompts, intuitive, visual)
Materials provided. No prior art skill required.
If journaling has ever felt frustrating, forced, or just not for you—this might change everything.
Join me, and let’s make journaling something you actually look forward to.

Event Details
In the “Create for Calm” Expressive Art Group, explore fun, easy expressive art techniques in a supportive group setting.
Join Holly Zazo, UAC member and teaching artist, to practice mindfulness, express yourself, set intentions, and cultivate a greater sense of calm. Expressive art groups are process oriented. This means that rather than being focused on creating a perfect finished product, like in a class, the intention is to practice being mindful, present in the here and now, and simply exploring what emerges- both internally and on the page.
Discover fun and easy creative art techniques that help you:
- Practice mindfulness
- Express yourself freely
- Cultivate a sense of calm
- Learn how to get curious about “inner critics” or other “monkey mind” thoughts, that may be blocking your creativity or ability to be present in your life.
Materials provided, no art skill required.
This group is held bi-weekly, on Wednesdays from 10-11.

“The Centered Circle” Expressive Art Group offers a calming and creative space to explore the healing potential of mandalas. Mandalas are circular designs that symbolize wholeness, balance, and connection, often used across cultures as tools for reflection and meditation.
Have you ever you struggled with traditional meditation or mindfulness practices? This is for you! Yes, making art, with your eyes open, IS a form of meditation!

In this group, you will:
- Be gently guided in using mandalas as a creative and enjoyable way to build a mindfulness practice.
- Explore the meaning behind the personal symbols, colors, and patterns that naturally emerge in your work.
- Develop a deeper understanding of your inner thoughts and emotions through creative expression.

THIRD THURSDAY LECTURE SERIES:
Visit the Museum of the Everglades every third Thursday for a local history lecture. Museum of the Everglades | 2:00 – 3:00 PM
Inspired by some of the less-represented voices connected with Museum of the Everglades’ current temporary exhibit: Growing Obsession – the Enchanting Story of Orchids in the Everglades, this just-after-Mother’s Day talk will celebrate some of the truly determined and tenacious women who worked to protect and preserve the only Everglades in the world.
Museum Manager Thomas Lockyear will share the stories of some of our region’s most outspoken environmental advocates – some well-known like Marjorie Stoneman Douglas and others all-but-invisible in our written histories – to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude.

Event Details
Feeling stuck with journaling? Has it become more of a “should” rather than something that feels helpful and fun? Join Holly Zazo, UAC member and teaching artist, to learn creative journaling techniques that you can easily use at home.
In this group we’ll transform your journal pages into layered works of art, where your writing can be partially—or completely—covered. Your thoughts are still expressed, honored, and released… but safely held.
No pressure to reread.
No pressure to share.
Just the process.
You’ll learn how to:
- Let go of the pressure to “do it right”
- Use art journaling as a form of emotional expression
- Explore different styles of journaling (guided prompts, intuitive, visual)
Materials provided. No prior art skill required.
If journaling has ever felt frustrating, forced, or just not for you—this might change everything.
Join me, and let’s make journaling something you actually look forward to.

This group is held weekly on Tuesdays from 11-12.

Event Details
“The Centered Circle” Expressive Art Group offers a calming and creative space to explore the healing potential of mandalas. Mandalas are circular designs that symbolize wholeness, balance, and connection, often used across cultures as tools for reflection and meditation.
Have you ever you struggled with traditional meditation or mindfulness practices? This is for you! Yes, making art, with your eyes open, IS a form of meditation!
Join Holly Zazo, UAC member and teaching artist, to engage in hands-on mandala creation as a mindfulness practice. Through guided art exercises, we will slow down, focus attention, and use this creative process to cultivate a sense of calm and presence.
In this group, you will:
- Be gently guided in using mandalas as a creative and enjoyable way to build a mindfulness practice.
- Explore the meaning behind the personal symbols, colors, and patterns that naturally emerge in your work.
- Develop a deeper understanding of your inner thoughts and emotions through creative expression.
Materials provided, no art skill required.
This group is held weekly, on Thursdays from 12-1:00
