In this online experiential art therapy workshop, integrative arts psychotherapists Rosemarie Fordham and Rosanna Cooper will guide a mindful creative exploration using what we can find in our homes (no fancy art kit required!) Together, we will explore a current challenge that the present time may be igniting for you (personal or professional), summon gratitude for what we appreciate in our lives and see if we can invite new potential and imagined possibilities into the frame.
Date: Friday 19 June 2020
Time: 10am to 12pm
Cost: Free
Venue: Online, using Zoom video conferencing
About the workshop
Rosemarie and Rosanna write:
“We invite you into a safe community space online via the free Zoom video conferencing platform, where we will use creative, therapeutic and mindfulness techniques as a path for self-discovery.
This workshop gives you a chance to rest your ‘thinking mind’, tap into your deeper intuition and imagination and recover your innate creativity.
We offer you a space where you can express, create and explore, whether you think you are ‘arty’ or not! No experience or ability with art necessary.
We will work with the art materials you can gather and find in your homes – no pressure to be fully equipped! Pen and paper are great. Magazines, newspapers, glue and scissors are good to have to hand if possible. Any additional paint, pastels, textiles, pens or felt tips will be a bonus but not essential.
Everything we do is an invitation: there’s no pressure to share any more than you want to.”
