Yearly Art Series
At I THRIVE, we believe art is a powerful tool for healing, advocacy, and activism. Art allows us to express what words often can’t capture, offering a pathway to process, connect, and transform. Every year, we incorporate art into our advocacy efforts, using creative expression to empower voices, support healing, and build awareness.​

-
2019-current: Kintsukuroi Project & Digital Media Campaign – We launched a campaign supporting narrative expression as a healing tool, helping individuals share their stories and find strength in their journeys.
-
2021: Photography as Therapy – Through our 2021 photo campaign, we highlighted photography as a mode of personal expression and therapy, providing a platform for visual storytelling and self-reflection. (Project was retired & transitioned to private project in setting of covid restrictions).
-
2021-2023: Performative Art, Peaceful Protest & The Looking Glass Project – We explored performative art, using peaceful protest and the Looking Glass Project to raise awareness, support survivors, and inspire community action. This period strengthened our commitment to art as a means of peaceful advocacy.

Yearly Community Art Therapy: This year, we’re continuing our Kintsukuroi Project Yearly Art series. Inspired by the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold, this project symbolizes resilience and transformation, combining art with our Winter Giving Series to support survivors and community healing.
Art allows us to honor personal and collective narratives, inspiring change and strengthening community ties. Through these initiatives, we invite others to join us in using creativity as a force for healing and progress.
Yearly Giving Series
At I THRIVE, we believe that giving is a true act of receiving—each gesture of support is a way to strengthen community bonds and uplift one another. Through acts of service, we bring warmth, comfort, and hope to those who need it most, reminding them they’re not alone.

Each year, we offer a series of donations to support survivors of trauma and illness, helping them feel seen, valued, and empowered. Our past donations have included winter coats, gloves, socks, and hats, as well as blankets, home goods, clothing items, and essential necessities. Additionally, we’ve provided scholarships for yoga training and personal development opportunities, supporting survivors as they continue their journey of growth and healing.

This year, as part of our holiday giving series, we are focusing on building our social media platform to provide free healing interventions. We’ll continue our tradition of giving back with donations dedicated to survivors of sexual violence, mental illness, and trauma.
In all of our efforts, we aim to embody the spirit of giving as a path to healing, growth, and mutual support. By giving, we at I THRIVE receive the joy of connection and community.
