"We can find inspiration in nature by reconnecting ourselves back to the natural environment"
- CBT Creative Play
This group combines mindfulness principles with the process of making art therapeutically, whilst drawing inspiration from nature. The focus is on shifting our attention to promote a sense of immersion, flow, calmness and being fully present in the moment. The emphasis is on paying attention to what's happening in the body during the art making process, rather than the end product.
Goals of the group:
-
Learning to use art for self-expression and self care
-
Learning about mindfulness principles and incorporating them into the art making process
