I believe you are innately creative and you are the artist of your healing journey.

Introduction to Guided Drawing

This workshop delves into the world of Guided Drawing®, a therapeutic technique that harnesses the mind-body connection for healing.

This workshop is for you if:

  • You are 18+ years of age

  • Seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and a path to healing

  • Feeling unheard or unseen

  • Have tried talk therapies and are struggling to find the words to express how you feel

  • Interested in new ways to be with stress, anxiety, or past traumas

  • Have a change in life that you want to work through

What is Guided Drawing®?

Guided Drawing® is an expressive arts modality and focuses on your somatic experience, meaning the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. Through rhythmic movements and gentle prompts, you'll become more aware of your internal state, a key factor in managing stress, anxiety, and past traumas.

No Artistic Skill Needed!

Forget artistic perfection! This workshop isn't about creating a masterpiece, but about using the act of drawing to explore your inner landscape. By drawing with both hands on a large sheet of paper, you may notice subtle shifts in your body and mind. These shifts can reveal hidden emotions and lead to deeper understanding.

Benefits of Guided Drawing®:

  • Non-Verbal Expression: Sometimes, talking about past experiences can be difficult. Guided Drawing® provides a safe space to express yourself without needing words. The act of drawing itself becomes a form of communication.

  • Calming the Nervous System: Rhythmic repetition can create a sense of calm and security, reducing activity in the amygdala, the part of the brain that processes threat. This can help us break out of patterns of feeling stuck, helpless, hopeless, or overwhelmed.

  • Gaining Perspective: By externalizing your emotions onto paper, you create space between yourself and your experiences. This "third-person objectivity" allows you to explore them with less intensity, leading to a sense of calm, clarity, and deeper self-awareness.

Join the Journey!

Come with an open mind, curiosity, and a willingness to explore. Guided Drawing® can be your guide on a path towards a more integrated and whole sense of self.

I look forward to introducing you to this powerful healing practice!

Reminder, No Artistic Skills Required. Only a curiosity to explore your lived experience!

  • "Robin tenderly explains and gives feedback at the end of the workshop that was valuable and interesting as it pertained to my drawings. As a result I was left with some beautiful art images and insight to my human experience. I highly recommend this experience. I can see myself coming back to one of these workshops if needing to work something out of my system or going through any type of hiccup life has."
