Active Imagination // expressive art workshops // One on one
The Ethos: Art is Medicine, and as human beings , we can employ Art to understand our intuition, feelings, ourselves, each other.
In Active Imagination, you'll explore expressive art, ie, abstract painting, writing poetry, reflective prose, and performance as methods for developing social-emotional awareness, confidence, and a mature sense of play; learn how to self-reflect creatively by challenging old ways of being to deepen selfhood and empathize with others.
Visual Art brings image to feeling.
Drawing and painting can be used to express big emotions. It avails to the artist/creator a non-verbal outlet by externalizing grief, anger, and anxiety; and makes more space for joy, self-acceptance and non-judgmentality.
