Emotional Landscapes: Listening Inward Through Creative Expression
Emotional Landscapes: Listening Inward Through Creative Expression
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 try to arrive 15 mins before so you can find the Magic School Bus Room** and we can start promptly at 530pm :) There will be a 10 minutes grace as life, weather and traffic can sometimes surprise us but doors will close at 540pm. Please put in the promo code CONCESSION if you are facing financial hardship for a discounted ticket price of $20. **Please note:** * This is a creative wellbeing workshop informed by art therapy but 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 the concession price is still difficult, please contact me at greenhouse.arttherapy@gmail.com No one will be turned away.
