✨Don’t miss this chance to connect and create process art with friends and peers in the NMOSD community.

🌿In this workshop, we will explore process-focused intuitive painting, with an emphasis on mindfulness, self-expression, and creative exploration. We will begin with a warm-up exercise, followed by guided process-focused painting with acrylic paints. For closing, we will have the opportunity to reflect on our experience and art pieces in small groups.

🖌️ Be sure to register by Thursday, July 17th in order to receive your art supplies.
After that date, you’re still welcome to join—just bring your own materials!

Honoring Grace Mitchell, a true NMO community champion.

As many of you witnessed at the 2025 NMO Patient Day, we pay tribute to the unwavering dedication and inspiring spirit of Grace Mitchell. More than an advocate, Grace was a loyal friend and fierce supporter to so many in our community. She educated others, raised critical awareness, and empowered patients and caregivers to advocate for themselves for decades.

Through your voice recordings and cherished memories, we celebrate the legacy of someone whose compassion and strength touched countless lives. Thank you, Grace, for being a beacon of hope. Your light continues to guide us.
