Lamma-zine - Ad page - Healing Art Workshops

Healing Art offers a chance for you get in touch with your creative self using a variety of different art materials in a fun and relaxed setting. No particular art technique is needed; no experience in art is necessary. The value of Healing Art lies in the process, the making of the art, the doing of it. The act of creating, by itself, helps bring balance to our psyche.

It is a fairly well established fact that thoughts and feelings at the unconscious level are more easily expressed in images rather than words. The eminent psychotherapist CG Jung used drawing and painting as a tool to access his own unconscious, as well as encouraging his patients to paint. This work-shop is not therapy, but it is about looking within. How deep and how fast you go is very much up to you. It is also about enjoying the process of creating and having fun with paint!

The day is made up of a number of sessions, each based around the creation of an image. You will be provided with many different kinds of art materials: paints, crayons, craft paper, glitter, glue etc with which to create your image. Certain techniques e.g. meditation, visualizations or movement, may be used to help release creative energies. After each session, there will be a group discussion where you will have the opportunity to share within the group both your artwork and anything you wish to say about it.
