Description

PLEASE NOTE: This event has gone online as it falls during lockdown. For more info and to book please click here.

Join the 3-day Art Therapy Introductory Seminar in Cape Town for an introduction to the process of Art Therapy. No art experience required!

Art Therapy is a creative treatment process which is beneficial for people of all ages to assist in personal growth, insight and development. The skills and experiences gained by participants at this seminar can be adapted to and incorporated in diverse work spheres as well as one’s personal life.

Experiential art making, case studies and introductory Art Therapy theory form the foundation of this seminar, which is suitable for ALL adults including health professionals, educators, therapists, counselors, coaches, students, artists and anyone interested in the field of Art Therapy.

Participants will have daily opportunities to engage experientially with a variety of different art materials and thereafter be guided into organic means of reflection on imagery and its potential meaning. Art Therapy will be explored in relation to different contexts and client groups including adults and children. The seminar includes an exploration of the concept of symbols and the significant role they play in communication in our daily lives and how the Art Therapy process is a means of non-verbal expression and communication through symbols. Information about Art Therapy as a profession, reading material and a recommended book list will be provided.

The aim of the seminar is not to teach one particular model of Art Therapy but to understand the process involved as a visual therapeutic tool; an open concept that can be translated and incorporated into a wide range of different contexts. Various approaches will be explored, which are suitable for a variety of different needs and client groups.

The seminar is facilitated by Samantha Davis, internationally trained and registered Art Psychotherapist (HPCSA AT 0000469) with almost 20 years’ experience.

“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.”
