Emotional Landscapes: A Therapeutic Art Workshop

In this session, we’ll explore our internal emotional landscapes using colours, lines, shapes, symbols, and gestures. While language can help us label feelings, there are often deeper nuances and meanings that emerge when we allow ourselves to create freely.

This is a quiet and reflective time for you to inquire into and connect with what you’re feeling beneath the surface through intuitive mark-making and creative play. Whether you're feeling emotionally overwhelmed, creatively blocked, or simply curious, this workshop offers a gentle invitation to slow down and listen inward.

We will open up space for discussion:

• What was the art making process like for us?
• What do these emotions mean to us?
• How do they relate to one another?
• How have our relationship with them evolved over time and how might we want to continue to relate to them?

No art experience necessary—just a curious and open body-mind.

Please note:

• This is a workshop that introduces Art Therapy as a practice. It is not intended as a substitute for individual or group therapy, which usually involves a deeper exploration of your personal history and beliefs, intentional collaboration and the building of a therapeutic relationship. It is also not intended for emergency crisis support or intervention.
• If you are willing to allow me to take photos of you and/or artworks for my learning purposes and to allow others who have not experienced the workshop to get a sense of what it like, please let me know at the start of the session and I would greatly appreciate it!
• If you are facing financial hardship and cannot afford the full cost of the ticket, we can work something out together. No one will be turned away. Please contact me at greenhouse.arttherapy@gmail.com
