Description

Description

Join the 6-week Online Art as Communication workshop for an experiential Art Therapy journey combining art activity with introductory Art Therapy concepts. No art experience is required!

A transformational journey of creativity, exploration, imagination, self-awareness, reflection, mindfulness, self-growth and development. You will be sensitized to the process and potential of Art as a means of Communication and explore your own inner world through the creative process in the presence of a qualified and registered Art Therapist.

Basic principles of Art Therapy are explored such as the creation of a safe space, boundaries, containment, symbol formation, an internal and external world and transitional objects. The focus is not on the outcome of product that is produced but a process of being creative. There is no judgement on artwork.

Each week, different art materials are introduced (such as paint, pastels, charcoal, sand, stones, recycled materials, nature, objects, play-dough etc) as a means of self-expression and communication within a dynamic group setting.

A recommended list of art materials for the seminar will be provided OR an art pack can be purchased. However, NO specific or fancy art materials are required for this online seminar! Creativity and being present with art is about being able to create something out of nothing:)

There is also an opportunity to share and reflect upon the image-making process voluntarily within the safety of the group. This enables a deeper understanding of the nature of symbols and the workings of the unconscious that emerge when art is used as a bridge between the internal and external world. This is a valuable opportunity for insight, thereby enhancing self-development and personal growth as well as group interaction and interpretation. The workshop highlights the effectiveness of this powerful therapeutic medium and empowers attendees with new insight and skills both in the creative process and in life itself. Beneficial for both personal and professional development!

Target Audience

The course is targeted at all adults including professionals, mental health practitioners, students, psychologists, social workers, Occupational Therapists, psychiatrists, coaches, teachers and artists who are interested in and want to use the expressive potential of art-making to enhance both their personal lives and people that they engage with in work contexts. Also wonderful for previous participants of the Art Therapy 3-or 5-day seminar to further their experiential journey.

“The course went beyond my personal expectations. I came thinking that we would mainly be learning about Art Therapy, which we did, but it was a big transformational experience for me which I was not expecting.”

- Megan Main-Baillie (Honours Psychology Student) -

“The Art Therapy was a gentle, creative and fun way to build trust and deliver outcomes. It was enjoyable and an extremely valuable experience in our Strategy workshop.”

“I didn’t realize how much I NEEDED Art Therapy. It was like rain falling on desert soil. And I have grown so much. My heart feels alive again. I will be back!”

“It was a time to forget about the problems and the world around me. Sam is a brilliant facilitator. Even though I was nervous, it was a time for me to reflect and to enjoy how therapeutic art can be. It calmed the storm that reigned inside of me. The Mandala Art Therapy workshop is like having a picnic next to a quiet river. You granted time to reach that point where you can become quiet and can experience the Universe.”

“A very comprehensive and thorough intro into Art Therapy. Covered a lot of ground in 5 days and left with a priceless manual and a warm glow.”

- Kat -

“It was the best week of my life, I learnt that I could always be happy as long as I was in a happy and comfortable space, and if I wasn’t I needed to create that space. I learnt that I was in control and all I had to do was to take charge and have fun and paint on a bigger board i.e. see the bigger picture. I am so grateful for the opportunity that came my way and that I was able to embrace and savor it.”
