Art for Emotional Healing

Art for Emotional Healing

Learn how to connect with your emotions and express them through art in this therapeutic art class with Olivia Marie. You do not need to have any experience with art for this class!

Art has a long multi-cultural history of being a vehicle for emotional expression and regulation. Before we had language, emotions and feelings were communicated through visuals, sounds, body cues, and movement. For many of us, communicating how we feel is often challenging and hard to put into words. Creating art is an approachable and light-hearted way to express our emotions, encourage self-inquiry, and discover what we truly need to thrive.

Expressing your emotions is a vital way to regulate your nervous system and become intimately aware of what you need to feel supported. We will use breathwork, somatic awareness, and visualization to approach layers of emotion in the body and put them into physical form. Having a physical representation also serves as a reminde r that one single emotion is not the whole of you and within you is a natural source of healing.

Paper and art supplies will be provided, although you are welcome to bring your own materials of choice.
