Creative Arts Therapy - a practical workshop
Being creative is good for you: come join us and engage in a therapeutic creative experiential session
Being creative is good for us.
Creativity involves imagination. It involves perceiving in new ways, solving problems, and developing ideas.
Simply engaging in creative arts can help with anxiety, stress and depression as well as helping us to process feelings, adapt to challenges, and promote a deeper authentic connection to ourselves.
Creating art in itself is good for our wellbeing, but when we use creative methods therapeutically, we can harness a powerful transformative and healing process.
Come along to this workshop - held online, using Zoom - where we will be working with a nature based theme. You'll also be able find out more about a person-centred approach to creative arts therapy, and engage in a therapeutic creative experiential during the workshop and experience it for yourself.
Please have a selection of simple art materials to hand, or alternatively, you can use a digital art app if you’d like to have a go!
This session is being held as part of Creativity and Wellbeing Week 2022
