Earth Day Art Therapy Group

Tuesday April 22nd in the Art Studio
7-9pm | $65+hst with Jasmyne Smith, Art Therapist
 
Receipt is provided from a Registered Psychotherapist and can be submitted for benefits claim.
 
 
Connect & reflect in this Earth Day Art Therapy group with Jasmyne. Begin with mindful movement to channel and stimulate your creative energy. Have the opportunity to set an intention for the spring and summer as you create a “seed ball” using clay and an assortment of flower seeds.
 
You will be able to bring home your seed ball and throw it into your garden or a corner of your yard to watch it explode – as your intention spreads and sows into the Earth. As the seeds take root and flowers sprout and bloom over the warm months, you can be reminded of your intention and to take action towards letting it bloom as well. As your seed ball dries engage in some reflective journaling and collage surrounding your relationship with Mother Earth.

Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy where we can use art and creativity as a modality of self-expression, emotion regulation, and reflection. Art therapy is different than art classes because there is no right or wrong way to engage with the materials – techniques are not taught in a step-by-step fashion – rather the participants can use the materials however they see fit to reflect on a theme.

Emphasis is on healing through the creative process, rather than on the aesthetic quality of the artwork.
