My story and art therapy workshop
Presenter: Natalie Lynch
In this workshop, you will learn how to start ‘creative journaling’ to heal your life.
Adjusting to loss is a unique process for each and every person. Drawing is a simple tool that we can use to help us to process and regulate our emotions, feelings, and behaviours at a time when life can be so difficult to navigate.
Natalie will share her own story about how art and creativity helped her process the sudden loss of her husband in 2009. She will also share her wealth of knowledge from her career as an Art Teacher and now Art Therapist, to help you discover the power of art and creativity as a healing tool even if you can’t remember the last time you used art materials.
You will be guided through simple drawing tasks to help you to find the confidence you need to use ‘creative expression’ in your search for a little peace of mind.
No art experience is required.
