Description
"Art studio" traditionally means a workspace for artists. We have been noticing that folks want more time and space to make art, but as we all know, it can be tough to prioritize. We also know times are stressful right now and we wanted to create a space that can be fun and light-hearted, while still therapeutic.
So, we created this group, which is intended as a community space in which to make art. We will provide structure and themes, but will also encourage clients to play and explore. There will be an opportunity to share art, however, this is not a process group. This is meant as an add on to other therapeutic work. We encourage clients to use this space to help further process what’s coming up in their therapeutic journey, as well as to bring art back to their therapy spaces, if that feels useful. Clients can also just come for fun and relaxation!
