Join us for a semester-long series of collaborative multidisciplinary events that explore a central theme. Created by campus and community partners and convened by the Gambrell Center, many events are free and take place from September – December.
the wellness quest: creative pathways to healing
CREATIVE PATHWAYS TO HEALING
An arts-driven journey through experiences designed to restore, inspire, and reconnect the body, mind, and spirit.
Rather than offering a single definition of wellness, the series invites participants to explore multiple pathways:
creative expression, sound, science, mindfulness, storytelling—and discover what resonates for them.
