In honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Sojourner House is hosting a “Self-Care for Survivors” workshop series during the month of April. The goal of the series is to provide a trauma-informed space where survivors of sexual violence can build community, reconnect with their bodies, and discover new creative outlets for healing.
Hosted at Jordan’s Jungle in Pawtucket, the series will have three parts: an expressive arts workshop, a yoga class, and a dance class. All are free!
Expressive Arts with Leslie

Yoga with Amanda
Wednesday, April 22nd 5:30-6:30pm
