Creative Arts Group – new groups coming in 2024

Reflect, Create and Connect – New Groups Coming in 2024

Come and spend a day to touch base with yourself through creativity and group support. Many people I talk to have been conditioned to think they are not creative or skilled enough to be so. These believes often date back to our childhood where we had negative messages given to us in this regard. Some of us have buried that creative spark somewhere deep inside since then. Most of us long to rediscover this part in some shape or form.

Here the good news! Absolutely no artistic skills are needed. You don’t need skills to be creative! Skills come to you naturally as you engage and find enjoyment in the process.

What you do need is a curious open mind and a little courage and persistence to learn to move past the inner critic to free up your creative flow.

I offer a nonjudgmental environment where we can practice the art of creating with non-attachment to outcomes and the use of ‘mistakes’ as spring boards to new discoveries.

The focus is on the process of creativity and self discovery and not on the end result (that doesn’t exclude the possibility of creating something beautiful).

The day will start with mindful grounding and followed by diving into your playful, creative process, prompted by loosening up exercises. We will include moments of reflections, which then will take you deeper into yourself and your painting process.

The creative process can be a truly healing experience as we learn to trust our intuition and follow our spontaneous expression. This translates into all areas of our lives.

Please note: This is not a therapy group but the process can bring up strong emotions. You do need to be in a stable life situation and have enough support to process what may surface through this creative process. If you are dealing with mental health issue’s and you are unsure, please contact me to clarify if this group is suitable for you.
