Kia ora koutou,
I have a series of creative arts therapy workshops coming up soon.
What is Creative Arts therapy?
An evidence-based approach combining the principles of psychotherapy and various art forms that allows people to express themselves, encourage healing and build resilience in a supportive therapeutic relationship. Arts Therapists are registered with our awarding body ANZACATA. I am an emerging therapist in my final year of training.
The offering:
Moving Encounters: Creative movement training & expressive arts making
Moving Encounters is a blissful mindful movement practice which guides you to connect to your charged presence and creativity. Each mover is guided to explore expressivity through embodied interaction and visual arts-making. Sessions progress from partner work to free-style expression with varying degrees of contact- from fingertips to full-body, from skin-to-skin intimacy to encounters that stretch across the gallery space. The workshop helps bring peace to the mind and body through release and connections to others. Moving Encounters is an embodied process to unlock creative flow. We will explore yoga, movement and breath in relationship for increased well-being.
