Transitioning from our Yoga practice into the Art Therapy session.

Art therapy is a psychotherapy that uses the creative process to encourage self-expression and, in doing so, find new ways to gain personal insight and develop new coping skills. Unlike verbal therapies, the individual interacts with materials, tools and the body are involved in creating. Therefore, the images help us to understnad who we are, to express feelings, experiences, and give them a way to tell their story when words are not enough. 

It dos'nt matter what age you are and whatever your skills are, you can benefit from Art therapy. If you want to get in touch with your creative soul, this workshop invites you to create art together. No matter how long your haven't been creating, thats a good opportunity, as no prior experience is needed! All the art material is included in the price of the workshop.
