Love & Light Wellness Programs

Art With Heart & Creative Connections

Plus Much More!

  • Love & Light Program
    The Love & Light Program, which includes Art With Heart and Creative Connections, was thoughtfully developed by Evolving Wellness to support the growth and well-being of youth in the Chippewa Valley. These programs provide a nurturing environment where children can express their emotions, build meaningful relationships, and develop essential coping skills through creative and social activities. Our mission is to help young people thrive by fostering resilience, self-awareness, and connection, empowering them to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and hope.

Art With Heart Program

Evolving Wellness has Amazing Facilitators running our Art With Heart Program! Art with Heart brings the healing power of creative expression to our youth and adults serving youth. We know art can turn pain into possibility! 

Art With Heart Program
The Art With Heart Program provides children and young people a compassionate space to express their emotions through creative art activities. Designed to support emotional healing and resilience, the program encourages participants to explore their feelings, build self-awareness, and develop coping skills in a safe, nurturing environment. Using various art-informed modalities, Art With Heart helps young individuals process difficult experiences, foster connection, and discover their inner strength. No prior artistic experience is necessary—just an open heart and a willingness to explore.

The Art with Heart program was created, and the facilitators were trained and supervised by local art therapist Amy Hahn, ATR, LPC using the materials created by the company ChildHaven/Art With Heart who has 20 years of experience creating materials to harness the healing power of creative expression to support kids and youth.

Creative Connection

 “Connecting Hearts & Minds”

Creative Connections is a thoughtful extension of our successful Art With Heart program, designed specifically for children who have completed the initial 16-week session and begun to form meaningful friendships. As these young participants transition from structured art activities into broader social settings, they often experience a mix of excitement and sadness—highlighting the need for ongoing support to nurture and deepen their connections. Creative Connections provides a safe, engaging environment where kids can continue building relationships, enhancing social skills through interactive activities like art, games, and collaborative projects. This program aims to foster lasting friendships, boost confidence, and support emotional well-being, especially for children facing social challenges or on the autism spectrum. By offering continued opportunities for connection and growth, Creative Connections helps children thrive socially and emotionally beyond the initial program..
