Description

Join the 1-Day Art Therapy & Mindfulness Workshop to explore and experience the ART of being present!

Imagine tapping into your innate creativity, with a focus on being in the moment, going with the flow, accessing the breath and releasing tension. Couple this with gaining insight, wellness, positivity, gratitude, playfulness and having fun through art.

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.” – Thomas Merton

Art has always been a form of creative human expression which enriches our human experience. It’s the main form of communication and expression. Art tells a story and helps us thrive in this world. Art is a form of living, healing, expanding and self-care.

This workshop incorporates various directed art-making experiential activities and teachings in the exploration of creativity and Mindfulness. No art experience is required as in Art Therapy there is no good or bad art and no judgement.

The facilitated reflection of art images with a qualified and registered Art Therapist aids the deeper working understanding of the Art Therapy process and the nature and value of accessing the use of symbols in images. Using the theme of Mindfulness, this workshop is a creative opportunity to explore how to be more present, be in a state of flow, access joy, positivity, courage and hope which of course has huge benefit in both our personal and professional lives.

Facilitated by Internationally trained (UK) and registered (HPCSA) Art Psychotherapist, creative coach and mom, Samantha Davis. Sam holds a psychodynamic frame but uses directive activities and other hands-on eclectic approaches and trainings such as Journey therapy, and her knowledge and informal training of archetypes, numerology, creative coaching and mindfulness in her dynamic Art Therapy workshops.

“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.”
