Art Therapy: I Am
10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
In this workshop you will make a list of things you are, starting with “I am” or I am a/an” (don't worry - I'll have lots of examples/inspirations). This list will then be incorporated into an art mosaic. The final piece will be a visual representation of all of your gifts/roles – a great reminder of who you truly are.
ART THERAPY – WHAT TO EXPECT
Art Therapy is the use of the creative process partnered with psychotherapy which offers a chance for self-exploration and understanding. Art allows us to explore things we may not have words to explain. While Art Therapy can be a deep and intense form of counseling, this group will focus on a lighter form of art therapy – 'art as healing'. We will be using art as a tool for expression and discussion.
