Art Therapy Workshops
Painting is putting colours from your heart onto paper. Painting is playing with colour. Painting is dancing on paper. You can express parts of yourself in painting that come from nowhere else. There is an interior part of you that has no words, and dreams in colour.
Art therapy workshop has a variety of modules,besides painting, including a 'Dreams and Wishes' board, a 'Me Box' and mandala work.
A mandala is a painting or drawing within a circle. It has been referred to as a reflection of one’s psyche at the moment and a representation of a potential for change and transformation.
For many people who are struggling with emotional or physical problems, the mandala emerges spontaneously as a sign of change or transformation. It is often associated with a feeling of wholeness, growth or the birth or emergence of something new. It can also signal a new understanding of the self.
Most materials provided. No artistic experience required for this workshop. Day one consists mainly of cutting and pasting, when did you last indulge in that?! Day two is working more with paint and pastels and playing with colour. This workshop is excellent for working through issues such as depression and anxiety, feeling stuck and in need of goal setting, or just for letting go.....
