The #Kreyzee Workshop
Hosted by Dan Armstrong
Join us this Saturday, July 19th 2025, from 7pm-8:30pm over Zoom for a free artist workshop! Hosted by former Third Space board member Dan Armstrong and funded in part by the Saint John Community Arts Board, this workshop explores the current world of mental health, online connections, and the stigmatism around mental health labels, such as the word “crazy”.
This free, online, evening workshop invites participants to delve into their minds, emotions, and biases surrounding mental health. Through a guided conversation, a screening of Dan’s very own short film, and a collaborative creative session, this virtual gathering is open to everyone and anyone, regardless of age, background, or skillset.
We invite you to register for this workshop via the link below. This workshop will not be recorded, but a digital canvas of our collaborative work will be distributed to those who partook in the event.
About the workshop host: Dan Armstrong (he/him) was born in Miramichi, situated in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people. He now resides in Gwa’dzi on Kwakwaka’wakw Territories, colonially known as Port Hardy, on Northern Vancouver Island. Dan is a Peer Specialist in this community and facilitates arts workshops within the community Mental Health and Substance Use team.
