Body Mapping Joy in Times of Grief: A Mini-Zine Workshop with Hana Park Lee

Body Mapping Joy in Times of Grief: A Mini-Zine Workshop

Saturday, December 12th, 1-3pm, Free

At Happy Time Studio in Issaquah – RSVP (LIMITED SEATING)

We often chase happiness in our lives but joy is a more powerful balm that we can cultivate and access during good times and bad. This workshop explores the grief we carry in our bodies and uses joy mapping to explore where we already carry and feel joy in both ourselves and through our communities. Through group discussion, meditation, and our own creativity, we will create mini-zines to take home and reference so we can access joy anytime. Paper and art supplies will be provided or you can bring your own.

Hana Park Lee is a Narrative Artist and Community Care Advocate who creates community-centered projects designed for social impact. Using portraits as a therapeutic tool for reflection, Hana centers the stories of people living with marginalized identities to bridge the empathy gap between individual experiences to systems of oppression. She recently changed her name from Judy (given to her by a school administrator when she registered for 1st grade) to Hana, which means “one” in Korean, as an act of self-reclamation and to represent the recent integration of self during her healing journey.
