Sentipensante Connections creates culturally sustaining, arts-based experiences designed to nurture creativity, connection, and well-being.
There are currently two ways to experience this work, with professional learning opportunities for educators and youth-serving professionals coming soon.
Creative Wellness Experiences
Creative wellness experiences create opportunities for people to reconnect with themselves, one another, and their innate creative force.
These experiences are thoughtfully designed in response to the unique needs of each community, creating space for reflection, creativity, conversation, and cultural affirmation.
We partner with colleges and universities, libraries, cultural organizations, community organizations, creative studios, women's groups, and other community spaces seeking meaningful experiences that foster creativity, connection, and well-being.
Each experience is grounded in the sentipensante approach and may incorporate writing, storytelling, visual arts, dialogue, ritual, creative play, and other expressive practices, depending on the goals of the community.
No two communities are exactly alike. Together, we design an experience that reflects your people, your purpose, and your vision.
Workshop themes include:

These outcomes reflect what becomes possible when creativity, connection, and wellness are intentionally designed rather than left to chance.
In Their Words
“My confidence has changed dramatically and I think this is because everyone is incredibly nice and supportive. One moment that really stood out to me was when I had to share in front of the group and the “love notes” were passed back to me. This made me feel not so scared and more confident.”
— Youth participant
"It allowed me to think about who I am as a person, with all the complexities that come with it. I reflected on who I represent, why I feel what I do, and what tangible actions I can take to release/process them."
— Workshop participant
"Remembering to pause in life and play."
— Educator participant
Let's co-create experiences where creativity, connection, and wellness can flourish.
