The Living Arts Counseling Center Presents:
Healing and Transformation Through the Arts: An Expressive Arts Therapy Group
In this ongoing weekly group, we 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.-12 p.m.
Where: Living Arts Counseling Center, 5463 College Avenue, Oakland
Cost: $275 for a series of 8 sessions
