We offer cathartic arts classes that are affordable, accessible, and adaptive for everybody, no matter your background, experience, skill level, physical abilities or limitations. EveryBody Empowered, LLC has created a one-of-a-kind program making the arts accessible for EveryBody!
The arts have an exceptional way of giving us a safe space for reflection and expression. The arts provide an outlet for processing our emotions that bypasses the mind and ego, allowing us to feel deeply and heal on levels that traditional therapy and coaching may not be able to achieve. The process of creating art in any of its forms, taps into our creativity and develops our aptitude and appreciation for the arts. The arts transcend space and time. All of the arts can transport us to an imagined place that connects us with ideas, emotions, the senses, people, cultures, places, nature, religions, spirituality and the world around us. This imagined place feels safe, so we let down our emotional guard—granting us access to our unconscious and deepest parts of ourselves. In that unique space, we can access our feelings without fear of others’ judgment or our own inner critic. The arts can empower us and restore resilience in ways we never thought possible.
For people living with disabilities and/or limitations due to rare diseases, chronic illness, mental health, or other circumstances, participating in the arts can present challenges that inhibit one’s ability to perform or create in the arts in the traditional ways. Many arts institutions and instructors don’t understand and are unwilling to accommodate. Whether it’s due to inaccessible locations, or classes catering only to able-bodied people: talented artists, singers, dancers, actors, and others can feel alienated from the arts—which is just plain wrong! At EveryBody Empowered, LLC, not only do we uphold DEIA standards, we celebrate participation by everybody in every body! Our coaches will encourage and empower you by demonstrating ways to adapt your body or mindset, the class content, activities, projects or skills required, so that you can participate. Our classes create an equitable environment to experience the art form in a cathartic way. We focus on what you CAN do, and help you grow your artistry from a place of possibilities. JOIN US!
Please consult your healthcare team to determine if a class is medically safe for your participation.

What comes to mind when you think of Wednesdays? It depends on your perspective. Think about the old debate: Is the cup half-full or half-empty? Depending on your mindset you might view the half-empty cup as negative because half is missing, OR you could feel positive because there is room to fill up the other half of the cup. When you’ve made it half-way through the week, it’s up to you where you put your focus. You can feel good about what you accomplished, what went your way OR You can dwell on the days that passed, what you didn’t complete, the to-do list, things that didn’t go your way, allowing yourself to feel anxiety and stress. You could choose to stress yourself out about all that’s left to do, what’s unfinished, words unspoken, and targets missed. Or you can focus on what you can do, the reality that you have more time, the infinite possibilities, and the opportunities that await you. You have a choice in your mindset. So no matter how you’ve been feeling–this is your RESET MINDSET button. Go ahead and press it! This class can help you release negative emotions and stress. Decompress and reset your mind. Let it all go, so you can flow! Use mindfulness, meditation, varied techniques and fun activities to balance emotions and optimize your mindset. Gain clarity and perspective to motivate you as you prepare for the end of the week. Classes are 1 hour on Zoom, Wednesdays @ 12:45PM-1:45PM EST. $25 per Class. Taught by Coach Aimee Z.
