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!
