Details of the four weeks:
- Week one, tapping into your sacred feminine and collective feminine wisdom through art therapy. Exploring Carl Jung's archetype of the crone and wise mother and what its meaning is to us and humanity.
- Week two, reflect on your lived experiences and what built your unique soulful self and values. Using art-making to express your wise foundation, roots and the experiences that shaped you.
- Week three, creating art around leaning into your strengths, values, beliefs and authenticity. This week, using a self-compassion lens, we honour ourselves in our artmaking.
- Week four, artmaking around cultivating a life that embraces your wise mother archetype and speaks to your truth. Using art, we tap into unique ways to live life in a wholehearted life that reflects your personal values, innate worth and feminine power.
About Art Therapy
Art therapy has deep roots in modern psychotherapy dating as far back as the '50s. Many famous psychologists have stated that artmaking is an amazing way to express oneself and that it's good for mental health and our soul. Carl Jung, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers all promoted art-making in their writings but the clever psychotherapist, Margaret Naumberg was the grandmother of art therapy. Way to rock Grandma Naumberg!

What's required:
For online groups, you need the Zoom app, a stable internet connection and a private space to do art therapy.
Art materials are needed. Please note, you don't need everything on the list, but we recommend when you do art therapy, you have some materials around you that are easy to access. That way you can use what art materials you intuitively feel you need. The list is found on our art therapy kit link, see below.
We have an art therapy kit for sale. It requires a pick-up. You can also get these supplies elsewhere, minus the mask for our group. Click here.
