Your Time, Your Way – Artful Expressions Theme Night
August 28 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Many individuals can benefit from what is often referred to as a “third space”—a place separate from home or work or school where there is no obligation to spend money on food or beverages. So we’re opening our doors to members of our community.
We invite you to drop in and use our space to help you unwind or recharge—with no pressure to engage in structured activities. We have several rooms and spaces available–a quiet lounge, computer desks, hang out sofas–you choose. It’s your time to use your way.
Our space provides flexible seating options, focus tools, and adjustable lighting options as we strive to make our space more welcoming and inclusive to those who wish to spend time in it.
On Thursday, August 28, we’re hosting a special activity during the Your Time, Your Way time.
Drop-in as we practice mindfulness and promote self-care through using arts and crafts. Participants can enjoy a variety of craft activities listed below while learning how these activities can promote better self-care.
- Adult coloring
- Tie and die
- Origami
Try your hand at the various craft activities being offered. Engage individually or connect with new people — it’s up to you.
Thursday, August 28
5:00 – 7:30 p.m.
In-person @ The Ability Hub (300, 3820 24 Ave NW)
Here are some other suggestions of things you may like to do if you aren’t interested in the arts and crafts, but this is not an exhaustive list:
- Socializing: Chat with others, make new connections, or catch up with friends
- Using Computers: Access the internet, complete personal tasks, or explore hobbies online. Use our computers and wifi or bring your own device and connect via our network
- Relaxing: Sit quietly, read, listen to music with headphones, or just enjoy the calm space
- Independent Work: Bring personal projects, homework or studying you may need to do, or use the time to focus on tasks
- Unstructured Activities: puzzles, sketching, journaling, or engaging in other personal hobbies
- Exploring Resources: Learn about other programs, events, or services Sinneave offers
- Simply Being: Spend time in the space without any specific activity, just enjoying the presence of others without any expectations to engage
