Students have the opportunity to follow their creative vision, and use a variety of media as they how to paint and draw self-portraits. Rather than approaching art from a realist standpoint, which can be intimidating and frustrating, instructor Jessie Nilo uses an abstract expressionist approach in the spirit of Picasso.

What does it mean to be “grounded” and calm, even in the face of stressful situations? There is a potential in each of us for self-acceptance, but how can you approach it in a practical way? In this class with Cyndi Miracle, prison residents explore a variety of techniques and practices of mindfulness.
