Hello from Samantha, Expressive Art Facilitator:
I’m here to support and cheer you on in your healing journey! Art is a fantastic tool to process emotions and discover new strategies for yourself.
In the Art for Healing program, you will learn practical tools to manage stress after experiencing difficult life experiences. You will grow in confidence by strengthening your emotional resilience.
All materials are provided, such as: oil pastels, colored pencils, paints, collage materials, colored paper and more. Willingness to try new ways of processing can open up additional neural pathways and stimulate new perspectives!
Additional Art for Healing Workshop Options:
How to validate and process fear, anger, shame and overwhelm.
We may address various ways of functioning in the world, self-image, boundaries within relationships, and your personal worldview.
There will be guidance on how to alter and productively redirect emotions, and how to vision-cast for the future.
We're here to support you on your journey toward resilience and hope!
