Inner Canvas Pages of Resilience: Honoring Black Voices Through Art & Reflection

Inner Canvas Pages of Resilience: Honoring Black Voices Through Art & Reflection

Register here

Wednesday, February 18th, 2026 from 8pm – 9:30pm ET

This February, we’re gathering for a special Inner Canvas session dedicated to creativity, courage, and honoring the impact of Black artists, writers, and visionaries. Pages of Resilience invites you to explore how the words of Black creators can spark your inner wisdom, and how art and gentle reflection can help you connect with the resilience you carry.

Together, we’ll begin with a meaningful quote from Black creators whose work centers truth-telling, imagination, and strength. You’ll then explore a practice called Echo Lines, where you’ll respond to their words with your own: writing, riffing, echoing, or artistic reshaping, whatever resonates.

From there, we’ll bring your page to life through an artistic Redactions & Illuminations. In this simple, expressive mark-making process, you’ll highlight what feels true, strike out what you’re ready to release, and visually shape the story you want to carry forward. Think underlines, circles, color accents, strikethroughs, borders, or small symbolic marks. No art skills required.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind “page of resilience” that reflects your inner landscape: a mix of truth, clarity, creativity, and voice that honors the work of Black artists and the wisdom of your inner experience.

Who: Young adult cancer patients, survivors, and thrivers (ages 18-45)

What: A creative, reflective workshop where you’ll explore Echo Lines, respond to the words of a Black creator, and visually transform your writing through mark-making

When: Wednesday, February 18th, 5:00 PM–6:30 PM PT / 7:00 PM–8:30 PM CT / 8:00 PM–9:30 PM ET

Where: Zoom, from the comfort of your home. Cozy blankets, snacks, and creative vibes are always encouraged.

Please note that Inner Canvas workshops do not include mailed art supplies. You will need to bring something to draw with and something to draw on to participate!

The event is finished.
