Over the course of 9 months Joanne ran Arts and Well being workshops. Using Visualisation, Meditation, herbs, poetry, story telling, print making and sewing as tools to share and create.
We drew from representations of Ophelia in the Shakespeare Memorial Archive to talk about strength in the face of gaslighting and oppression.
