As adults, we can often rely on our intellectual and rational sides to solve issues, but art therapy is saying "no, that's not always the best way". We actually want to tap into our imagination and our intuition and our bodily experience for healing.Art Therapy is an established mental health profession that uses artistic mediums to improve or restore mental, emotional, and physical health.This workshop provides an introduction to Art Therapy including:What Art Therapy isHow Art Therapy can be usedAn opportunity to experience Art Therapy for yourselfThis workshop is a great opportunity for:Individuals who are interested in becoming Art TherapistsArtists of various modalities that want to explore the therapeutic side of artCounsellors and other professionals wanting professional developmentIn this workshop participants will be given the opportunity to experience 'Art Therapy', utilising a diverse range of art materials and processes. Through individual, paired and group work, participants will have the opportunity to create, reflect and explore personal meaning, and to experience the potential of art-making as a tool for personal growth, connectedness and self-awareness.Through an experiential focus on their own art-making, participants will gain a basic understanding of how art can enrich and facilitate working with others.
