About your Facilitators:
Janet Beath, Artist
Neurographic art, developed by Psychologist Pavel Piskarev, uses visual thinking and to reshape inner states - it allows for emotional processing. It is a way of rewiring the brain through a reflexive, mindful and meditative process.
Our challenges sometimes seem like a traffic circle going round and round; Neurographic art makes it easy to find that off ramp, a smooth transition into a world of pathway possibilities.
Janet is a professional visual artist, who has been working in her chosen field of Mental Health & Wellness for 30+ years. Her goal is to empower individuals and communities through creativity by exposure to and engagement in the arts. She uses different mediums & methods to activate memory, access different parts of the brain & impart a sense of trust, accomplishment, success & pride in all participants.
Jas Bhandal, Yoga Teacher & Movement Educator (and more!)
Jas, is a yoga teacher and movement educator with a background in fitness and a passion for accessible wellness. Her classes blend strength, mobility, and mindfulness to meet students where they are, honoring each body’s unique story. Jas is committed to creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels empowered to move, breathe, and belong. She is known for her passionate, yet calm demeanour and for little bits of sass and samosas sprinkled in to keep it interesting!
Chris Clapp, MSW RSW
As a Social Worker (MSW), Chris has a passion for coaching from an empowerment approach, believing you already have the internal gifts, skills and power within you to create positive change. She is known for her passion for community engagement and social justice as she continues to learn and “unlearn” and help others do the same.
