Art Therapy: Opening to Possibility in the New Year

Come along for a gentle morning of connection with yourself and others, where we will explore the theme of possibility through reflective writing and collage.

We will begin with a short art based warm up and an anchoring mediation to help everyone arrive and settle in.

This session will have two creative opportunities: a short writing exercise to help you express what you are ready to release from the past year, followed by a longer collage making session to open to and be inspired by, the new possibilities awaiting you in the year ahead.

You will also be given time to share with the group about your collage, with the understanding that some expressions do well when accompanied by words and others hold their power in silence (no pressure to talk).

What is Art Therapy?

Art Therapy is a mental health profession where creative arts practices are used alongside applied psychological theory. Some of the impacts on wellbeing can include: cultivation of emotional resiliency, insight and self understanding, enhanced social skills. No special skills are required to attend, our focus in art therapy is 'process over product’. Group work is a cost effective way to access the benefits of art therapy, and can also help to build a sense of community and belonging in a safe environment.

What does the $45 cover?

This covers supply for a range of quality art materials for each group, hire of our beautiful little space, tea & coffee for those who like to sip a cuppa while creating, and guidance through art therapy processes by a registered Art Therapist & Counsellor.

Please note Meetup also charge a small booking fee that goes directly to them (I believe approx $2.90)

This gathering has limited numbers to ensure that there is ample time and space for each person to speak about their work and the meaning it holds for them.

If you have any questions please feel welcome to reach out via the Meetup app.
