Art Therapy Group - Exclusive Members Event
Art provides food for the soul. Art therapy can be healing, restorative and connecting. It offers opportunities to be calm, expressive, focused and reflective. It invites new perspectives and insights. It can be soothing, illuminating and transformative. Art Therapy in the context of a supportive group, can magnify these positive benefits.
All SCCC Members are welcome to join us for this 5 x 2 hour weekly opportunity to make art and connect with like-minded others in a supportive, non-evaluative, online space.
Rather than a structured or directed art therapy group, after a check in and guided relaxation exercise, you will be able to self-direct your own art making process each week. You will then be invited to share your reflections on your process (and art if you wish), with the group.
Who should attend?
Any SCCC Member interested in being part of a small, supportive, 5 week, art therapy group. No artistic experience or skill is necessary. This will not be an instructive how-to-make-art or how-to-facilitate-therapy groups but rather a friendly, respectful, inclusive space that privileges your experience and experimentation with art process. It is recommended for those who can work independently with mark/art making. You can choose to use as many or as few art materials and methods as you have available.
What you will need:
- A reliable internet connection;
- A device (eg computer or tablet) that be set up in a fixed position for the group duration with a camera you can keep on without a blurred background;
- A private room for the group, free of distractions to allow you to focus and to maintain confidentiality;
- Any art supplies you might like to use (eg, paper, pens, pencils, textas, oil pastels, chalk pastels, paints, clay or craft materials).
