heARTful wellness Book Launch Party
Friday, September 22
6:00 – 7:30 pm
Led by Renée S. D. Tate (she/her)
Come celebrate the launching of the heARTful wellness: mindfulness tips for daily wellness adult coloring workbook (2023) with heARTful remedies on September 22nd at EMPOWERED Spaces.
Renée's vision (founder of heARTful remedies) for the heARTful wellness workbook is for it to be a tool to help make mental health wellness ideas and skills more accessible outside the therapy room as a means of providing community care.
This launch party is all about celebrating as a community.
This event is free and kid friendly with no RSVP required.
For anyone looking to engage in some mindful creativity, mandala coloring pages from the workbook along with art supplies will be available while enjoying some light refreshments.
No purchase of the workbook is necessary. If you would like a signed copy by the author and team, copies of the heARTful wellness workbook will be available to purchase. Hope to see you there!

Meet Renee

Renée is a registered art therapist, expressive arts therapist, and licensed therapist in Illinois and Missouri. She founded heARTful remedies, LLC in January 2020. A foundational principle of heARTful remedies is that when we engage in creativity, we are able to access more possibilities for change.

Renée is passionate about providing creative care through a cultural humility framework inside and outside the therapy room with a focus on equity, access, allyship, safety, and authenticity.
In 2023, Renée started facilitating local heARTful wellness workshops and authored heARTful wellness: mindfulness tips for daily wellness adult coloring workbook (2023) as a means to provide greater creative community care and make mental health wellness skills more accessible. Renee believes that we all have infinite capacity to grow and heal–sometimes we just need some extra support or additional tools. Renée loves to create textile art, garden, and play with her therapy dog Justyce.
