Healing and Transformation Through the Arts:
An Expressive Arts Therapy Group
In this eight week series, we will step through the doorway into the creative process. As we
work in imagery and make art together, we will discover and develop links to feelings,
patterns, beliefs and inner iconography. Within the safety of our group, difficulties can find
their way into poetry, dramatic enactments, movement or works of art using collage, drawing,
sandtray or painting. The significance of our challenges will be explored as they are played
out through the arts; insight and understanding will grow. Trusting in the creative process, we
will strengthen our intuitive pathways and find healing, community and hope. No art
experience necessary.
When: Wednesdays, 10 a.m.-Noon
