“In case no one's told you recently, you are a whole integrated being, lovable just for being you and the whole mess of life that you bring with you.”

Luz Bratcher left her career as a UX designer to help people create art as a means of processing trauma while embracing joy.

In her talk for our Seattle chapter, Luz also leads a collaborative art exercise. Follow along to experience the vulnerability and healing you need to grow.
