There are times when words cannot convey our deeper emotions and feelings. This is where an Art Therapy session or workshop lets you safely explore and develop a deeper understanding of your own psyche.
Art allows us to appreciate what the artist has portrayed. We may have a very different interpretation or emotional response than that of the artist. Our perception is layered with societal, cultural and familial overlays.
By exploring our responses to an artwork or an Art Therapy exercise, we can begin to understand our subconscious reactions to past events and shift our consciousness.
Creating our own art, can lead to a discovery of the inner self.
We attach deeper meanings to symbols or objects within the artwork. This reflects what often cannot be expressed verbally. Through the creation of images, subsequent analysis and interpretation you then access these unconscious stimuli. Art shows what is hidden within and needs to be expressed.
Art Therapy is an ideal way to manage stress and one doesn’t need to be an accomplished artist to create meaningful images.
It can be said that art is the lens through which we focus our perception.
The Art of Stress Management workshops will help you to navigate turbulent times.The workshops include helpful stress management techniques and a space for your creative endeavours.
These are available for workplace wellness programs and for small groups.
Private sessions are also available.
