Join me for a person-centered expressive arts practice that you can then share with your clients! I incorporate art into my daily life in various ways. I often use art to process during or after therapy sessions, and I also offer these invitations to clients. I am trained through the Person-Centered Ex Art program, created by Natalie Rogers. Cultivate an expressive creation! This is not art therapy (I will explain more during our sessions). 

When: January 6th and the ten weeks following

What: sliding scale sessions for therapists, helpers, coaches, and healers of all kinds. 

Goal: Learn how to incorporate creative expression with your clients. 

What to bring: Your own art supplies (pen, paper, art journal, water color, colored pencils, or any craft-type materials you have around). Commitment: Please attend one session or all 10, but kindly notify me if you are signed up but won't be able to participate.

Here are some thoughts about 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:

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 in as well.

Cultivating time for creativity has so many benefits. Please email me with questions, and I look forward to seeing you on January 6th and one or all of the 10 Tuesdays after that!

Warmly,

Bridget
