Art Therapy Workshop: Connecting to our Bodies Through Art

What is art therapy and preparing for the workshop

Art therapy can support persons in exploring and expressing their inner worlds. Imagery, colours, shapes, textures, sounds...etc. are all part of the creative therapeutic process allowing us to be with thoughts and feelings that can be difficult to find words for. Art making is a practice that promotes the mind-body connection and nervous system regulation. Art therapy also supports expression and listening to self.

• Art therapy is not about creating a perfect image.

• No previous art making skills are required, just a sense of curiosity.

• Art therapists do not interpret your work.

• Art therapy is not just for 'artists' or 'creative types'.
