Healing Through Creative Art PlayShop
Age Groups, Goal, Purpose & Participant Pre-requisite
AGE GROUPS
The Healing Through Creative Art PlayShop is for Children - Adults (Ages 7 & Up) and the participants are placed within age appropriate groups. I've found that children with ADD benefit quite a bit! They're actually calm, balanced, centered, quite gleeful, focused and are stationary throughout the 2 hours...A feat within itself! ;-)
GOAL
To help as many people as I can to release stress or those less than
joyful feelings bit by bit, peeling away layer by layer (The Onion Effect). To do this in a lighthearted fun way with the use of
intuition, water based paint, brush & paper. To have each participant feel lighter, brighter and certainly more joyful with each class taken; to have this impact felt with the first class taken.
PURPOSE
Working
Intuitively with each participant (Soul to Soul), it's my intention to assist
and support those individuals who desire or intend to release those less than
joyful feelings from within their bodies and open themselves up to Creativity and Joy!
Some
thoughts or elements that create stress, may also impact upon ones overall
health. It also has a tendency to crush the joy of creative expression or
freedom and this in itself, may create a less than joyful situation. As the facilitator, it's my
intention to assist others by lending them support in finding their joy once
again. I'll do so by helping them to tap into their creative selves or aspects.
These aspects are sometimes buried beneath all of what they've been previously
taught by parents, teachers, colleagues, friends and others; all the do's and
don'ts so to speak to survive in society.
We are taught to ingest rules, regulations, ideas and
information then, after this is all done, we are told we may be able to
create. I ask, how could one create from such a limited capacity or with so
many restrictions? For me this feels confining, for true creativity wells forth
from the soul, the spirit within, deep within. In this place of spirit there
are no rules, regulations, constraints, judgments or critiques, there is only
free flowing creative and loving energy. It is this same free flowing loving
energy that I'm intending to assist and support others in finding once again. This
process of Intuitive Creative Painting I feel, is a delightfully wonderful way or
tool one may use to move through stress, anxiety, depression, feeling blocked, less than joyful and into happiness and self-love the Fun Way! And without drugs! Yay!
PARTICIPANT PRE-REQUISITE
NOTHING! This is NOT a "How To Paint or Draw Class", there is no end product, this is not for show and there's no judging in this Healing Through Creative Art PlayShop.
The participants needn't know how to paint in order to be involved with this process, stick figures are just fine. In fact, it may be better if they have no idea of proportion, curve or depth. They will have to invent as they go along by responding to their intuition, a feeling from the inside, that inner urge, just as children do! The participant's technique will evolve on its own, as contact with that inner creative aspect of their self develops. All they need do is follow where the brush wants to go, without any resistance or preconceived concepts. In short, they follow their feelings and go wherever it and the brush takes them...It's just that simple!
