Here are some thoughts on how I hold the Person-Centered Expressive Arts,:

It is for YOU, it can be magic, we will invite breath, compassion, and aim to be easy with ourselves. I believe, as many before us have suggested, if we are not mindful, we won’t really benefit as much from the expressive arts, so I weave meditation into the art invitation. You may know Natalie Rogers, but in case you don’t, she is the founder of this particular technique: https://www.psychotherapy.net/article/expressive-art-therapy

Here is one offering for now, so you can feel it in your bones.

Stop reading this blog/invitation and gather any creative supplies you have nearby. Write an inspirational sentence to yourself in your notes app on your phone.

Try to stop once daily for 5 minutes, and then, little by little, we can add a cultivation/creative habit as well.

Cultivating time for creativity has so many benefits.

If we want to support our families in an art habit (or any habit), we need to do the same. I am here to tell you I don’t really love the word "habit," and yet a commitment is pretty vital in these times.

Don’t have any craft, journaling, or art supplies? Head to Scrap Fabric if you are near San Francisco; it is my favorite place to find inexpensive art supplies.

Practice journaling, line-making, scribbling, etc. If you need to burn the paper afterward, it's okay. Crumple it up, shred it, or hang it up; it is a person-centered practice 😉
