Cultivating Curiosity ;
a weekly(ish) art therapy group workshop
Fridays 4-6pm, starting June 14th 2024
Cultivating Curiosity is a somatically-rooted art therapy practice focused on curiosity and mindfulness. These sessions are intended to foster greater somatic awareness, creativity, and self-insight in an intimate group setting. A different theme will be offered at each session to facilitate reflection and discussion. Absolutely no art background is required in order to participate! These workshops are purely about self-expression and exploration. You can think of these sessions as self-care in community.
Details:
• 2 hours, 4-6pm on Fridays
• minimum 3 participants, maximum 5
• Registration is required
• the fee for each session is $60+tax but if you purchase a package of five or more, you can save $50
• taking place at my studio, Atelier Indigo, in the Plateau
• conducted in English
These workshops have no hard end date; they occur on a rolling basis and are essentially 'drop-in', meaning it is not necessary to attend every session.
Join me for an upcoming exploratory art therapy workshop in a beautiful studio in the Plateau!
The workshop will facilitate a bottom-up approach towards self-exploration. We will start with a creative body scan that will lead into a period of artmaking based on what came up during the body scan, and end with some guided writing on what was made during the workshop. Discussion throughout the session is welcome and if there is time at the end, we can discuss our experiences together.
Sessions will be semi-structured involving some prompts with a self-paced format. There are two dates to choose from with 6 participants maximum per date. The fee for this 2-hour workshop is $40. Sliding scale options are available with code DISCOUNT at checkout!
There is no need to bring anything - just come as you are! You are welcome to bring a personal journal if you'd like, as we will be doing some writing (not necessary, though). All art materials will be provided as well as some light refreshments.
If you are interested or have any questions, please get in touch via my contact page or book your place now. Looking forward to connecting with you!
