FLOURISH: A Creative Wellness Series

FLOURISH aims to stimulate the creative economy by offering activities, projects, and workshops led by wellness facilitators, artists, and teachers. Joe’s is excited to partner with these leaders to provide catharsis amidst an ever-changing socio-political climate.

Workshop passes are on a pay-what-you-wish scale, starting at $5. We want to support a larger audience, especially those who have lost employment, in accessing wellness. At Joe’s, we believe that community is strength.

By coming together, we uplift, heal, and inspire. FLOURISH is more than just a wellness series—it’s a space where creativity and care intersect, fostering resilience in uncertain times. Whether you lead, learn, or show up, your presence contributes to a collective force for well-being.
