    OAR - Expressive Writing Lab

    Killeen · Killeen Creators, 701 N 10th St

    Operation Art of Recovery brings artists and members of the military community together to explore creativity as a pathway to healthy distraction, transformative healing, and a better quality of life. Its Expressive Writing Lab centers on building inner calm and resilience through therapeutic expression and meaningful connection. The emphasis is on an enjoyable, purposeful experience and growing personal “recovery capital”, and strong pieces of writing and performance often emerge along the way. The sessions are facilitated by award-winning spoken word artist Richard “Shake the Poet” White and Killeen Creators’ founder and Executive Director, Kristin Wright, both of whom draw from their own recovery journeys. Richard is a veteran, martial arts instructor, poet, published author, and acclaimed slam poet in recovery from trauma and substance misuse, using writing and performance to process childhood and service-related experiences and to support others on similar paths. Kristin, known as “Momma Kay,” is a survivor of child and domestic abuse in Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, a lifelong writer of poetry and plays with several productions staged at colleges and universities nationwide. She has used words to move beyond difficult circumstances and to reshape her personal story over time. Together, they bring years of healing, writing, and teaching experience and are committed to helping participants find their words and voice. Each lab typically opens with safe space guidelines, followed by a brief icebreaker reading or activity, an introduction to the day’s prompt, and focused time to write. Participants are then invited to share their work and receive feedback if they wish, enjoy an open mic segment, and end with a thoughtful wrap-up. Writers and poets from the entire community are welcome, regardless of military affiliation. In-person participation is encouraged, and a Zoom option is available. Late arrivals are asked to slip in quietly to maintain the flow. Light snacks and water may be provided when donated.

    Holiday Survival Guide for Families: A Drug-Free Playbook

    Austin · MaxLiving Chiropractic - Tech Ridge, 12314 N IH-35 Svc Rd SB

    The stretch from late October through early January often brings candy everywhere, packed schedules, family gatherings, travel, and peak cold and flu season. Routines slide, sleep suffers, and by the start of the new year many households feel worn down. This one hour workshop offers a clear plan to keep the season joyful while safeguarding health. Led by a pediatric chiropractor and mom with ten years of work focused on how kids’ nervous systems respond to stress, sugar, shifting schedules, and seasonal exposure, the session explores what happens in children’s bodies and behavior when sweets surge and how to soften the impact without dampening celebrations. It covers practical ways to build immune resilience before illness makes the rounds, including which supplements, foods, and daily habits to prioritize and which to skip. You will hear sleep strategies that help when travel, time changes, late nights, and crashes threaten rest, along with co regulation tools to keep both kids and caregivers steady during big family events and long car rides. The presenter also shares five core essentials that, when protected, help families stay well through any level of holiday busyness, plus straightforward examples from her own household that are realistic rather than picture perfect. The tone is supportive and judgment free. It is not about canceling treats, shaming sugar choices, or calling out parents. It is a practical roadmap for navigating the season with both magic and well being intact. Admission is free for attendees and their guests. Participants receive a take home framework, special event pricing on immune and nervous system supplements highlighted in the talk, and entries into giveaway raffles. Spouses, partners, grandparents, and friends with children are welcome so the whole support network can learn the same playbook.

    Oar - Expressive Writing Lab

    Killeen · Killeen Creators, 701 N 10th St

    Operation Art of Recovery brings artists and members of the military community together to explore how creative practices can support healthy distraction, meaningful healing, and a better quality of life. Its Expressive Writing Lab focuses on building calm and resilience through therapeutic writing and community connection. The emphasis is on having a meaningful, enjoyable experience and strengthening personal “recovery capital,” and participants often find compelling poems and performances taking shape along the way. Sessions are guided by award-winning spoken word artist Richard “Shake the Poet” White and Kristin “Momma Kay” Wright, founder and Executive Director of Killeen Creators. Richard is a veteran, martial arts instructor, poet, published author, and acclaimed slam poet who is in recovery from trauma and substance misuse. Writing and performance have helped him process childhood and service-related experiences, and sharing his work has allowed him to support others as they grow. Kristin is a survivor of child and domestic abuse who is in Mental Health and Addiction Recovery. She has been writing poetry and plays since middle school, with several productions staged at colleges and universities nationwide. Language helped her navigate difficult circumstances when she was young, and over time she has reshaped her self-story through creative expression. Together they bring years of healing, writing, and teaching experience to help participants discover their words and their voice. Each lab typically begins with a review of Safe Space Guidelines, moves into an icebreaker reading or activity, then introduces a writing prompt followed by dedicated writing time. Participants may choose to share their work and receive optional feedback, then an open mic and a brief wrap-up close the session. Writers and poets from across the community are welcome, whether or not they have a military connection. In-person participation is encouraged, and joining by Zoom is also possible. Snacks and water are offered when available through donations. If arriving after the session has begun, please enter quietly to maintain the flow.
