Therapeutic art is self-directed and forward- motivated. It is not psychoanalysis. It provides a means of self-expression, communication, decision making, creativity, and stress reduction. Art becomes a meditative practice wherein one finds the flow, a state of concentration so focused that it amounts to absolute absorption and inactivity. It's also called being in the zone by focusing on only the task at hand this state may help an individual reduce self-consciousness and anxiety. Achieving flow is often a challenge to the brain and flow states are an area of study in neuroscience. Many people who find traditional meditation difficult are able to achieve this state through the practice of an art-related activity. Art is a learned skill to cope with stress and anxiety.

1:1 Therapeutic Art Coaching:  For 1 hour each session, coach and client take a journey inward. Meditation, mindfulness, and breathing exercises help clear out negative thoughts, beliefs and perceptions that are not serving us. Through guided art sessions, we tap into more positive thoughts, realistic perspectives on different areas of life, and inner self-knowledge to foster healing, peace and joy. The art done during sessions is process-based and non-judgmental. We make art for the fun and joy of it, and the art teaches us about ourselves. The types of art we do can have therapeutic objectives, be mindful and relaxing, or be intuitive, in other words, self-guided.

Higher Self Therapeutic Art Group: 

Together we move through the opening up process to get to the core of our true inner selves to relieve and dissipate anxiety and promote healthier emotion management. In our sessions we discuss topics related to mental wellness as well as make art that soothes and heals. The topics we discuss lead us to spiritual growth and understanding. In the art-making process, we practice breaking through old, preconceived ideas of how we see ourselves and forge new self-concepts rooted in self-discovery and responsible choice.

Group Events- For companies, healthcare organizations and wellness centers:

​

Therapeutic Art Workshop:

 Using breathwork through either meditation or movement, we center ourselves on a self-care theme such as self-worth, forgiveness, self-compassion, and more. We make non-judgmental abstract art for relaxation. Finally, we journal self-support statements and add them to the art. Workshop is 2 hours long.

​

Neurographic Art Workshop:

Neurographic art is a mindful art practice used to map new neural connections through drawing. When we associate a positive thought to a new neuropathway, we can reinforce it. Then we can visually connect that to a positive change which we want to reinforce. Through repetition, we can increase the efficiency of the positive feelings and manifest something healthier and with increased well-being as the result. Through the process, we change our beliefs and meaning we associated with events to better-feeling outcomes. Workshop is 2 hours long. 

​

Intuitive Painting Workshop:

Get out of your mind’s way and through the process, take the energy from inside of you and express it symbolically in the form of abstract shapes and marks. After a brief warm-up of the body and breath, we use acrylic paints and fun tools to create contrast, interest and movement on canvas as we play fun music. No art experience necessary. Workshop is 2.5-3 hours long

 

Yoga Nidra classes:

 Achieve deep relaxation through meditation equal to 3 hours of sleep. Classes are 1 hour long.

Creative Resilient Teens Program: We empower teenagers to reframe negative thoughts through mindfulness, journaling, and art.

We practice, through activities, to identify triggers and negative thought types, reframe through breathing techniques, and release stress through non-verbal artistic expression.  Each art activity is linked to the core concept of the session. The goal of this course is to teach you techniques to build your resilience, your ability to prepare for, recover from and adapt in the face of stress, challenge or adversity. Our goal together is to feel confident “taking charge” of how we respond and how we care for ourselves. We use art as a process to discover truths about ourselves and situations that are stressors and triggers. We build self-awareness, self-acceptance, and community, a safe place where your opinions are valid as well as your feelings. Sessions are 1.5 hours long.
