Learn how to use drawing and mark-making for visual journalling, to draw out your inner guidance and resources, and bring a creative form of wellness into your daily life.
Lara Phillips, a creative facilitator trained in Interactive Drawing Therapy, will guide you through simple practices that open our subconscious; a resource we can all tap into, to help ourselves.
Note, this is not therapy or counselling rather a self-care tool that you can integrate alongside other wellbeing practices, such as journalling, walking or meditation.
Each week combines a mix of guided drawings (where you follow cues), practices with others in the group, and self-guided drawings, using knowledge and tools you can take away.
Week 1: Ground
Learn what sits at the heart of this practice, and how to access your subconscious to draw out what it is you need.
Week 2: Wonder
Explore techniques with others in the group, to learn the power of open cues and different ways to listen to your inner voice.
Week 3: Play
Experiment with different ways of playing with your drawings, to stimulate the subconscious to guide you.
Week 4: Self
Apply your knowledge from the workshop to develop self-guiding skills to continue drawings at home.
