New Workshops
Facilitator: Amy J. Barry Dates: Tuesdays, 11/12/2024 to 12/10/2024 Location: Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library, Stony Creek, CT Meeting Time: 2 to 4 p.m. Description: As each generation lives longer, more active lives— people in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, still working or retired, married, divorced, single or widowed, are finding themselves asking the same question: How will I spend the next 20, 30 or even 40 years? In this workshop Amy will implement creative visualizations, hands-on expressive art and writing exercises, current research findings, and group discussion and feedback to help participants get “unstuck” and move beyond “intermission” into a rich and rewarding “third act.” Amy is a certified express arts facilitator, published author & poet, award-winning journalist, and Hospice-trained bereavement counselor.

"The workshop title, like this stage in life, was a bit daunting for me and yet aroused my curiosity. I wanted to talk about this “Third Act” with others in a reassuring way. Amy’s creative prompts made me gently look within and then express my thoughts and feelings through words, drawings, collages, and more. She made the room feel safe to honestly discuss our feelings and situations. I found the workshop uplifting, comforting, and fun!""
