The course will allow you to experience many different forms of therapeutic art as you unlock your creativity and find your inner strengths.
It covers the importance of learning to enjoy the creative process without self-judgement. You'll learn how to appreciate being in the moment with your art and developing your acceptance of self.
Each exercise and technique is followed by examples of how I use them with my clients in my own practice, so that you have a better understanding of the practical application of each.
You will love the simplicity and ease of learning how to incorporate art therapy into your everyday life in order to promote health and well-being.
The course is comprehensive covering a range of fun activities, including creating your own emotions wheel, Zentangles, Zendoodles and Mandalas.
We'll look at how you can explore your deeper feelings while using music as an aid to your creative flow and learn how doodle for better focus and concentration.
We'll also be covering the basics of colour psychology and how you can use these principles in your therapeutic journey.
The course has over 100 downloadable resources for you to enjoy, including making your own affirmation cards and using the medium of creative writing for journaling and ways to heal.
