Transpersonal Art Therapy

Processes

Art In Wellness offers a non-diagnostic, conversational therapy service that that uses your art expressions to explore your transpersonal development of the self. Sessions are typically individual one-hour sessions. Mindfulness workshop for small groups can be a couple of hours in duration (negotiable). Contact me for enquiries and pricing. After your initial consultation an individualised wellness plan is developed to help you uncover the personal tools needed for healing and wellness. Let's talk or make a booking.

Identity of Self – Cut Outs

Look deeply into the different parts of the self. Assign a colour and shape to you the child, parent, dancer, swimmer, uncle, aunt or any part of you with a sense of belonging that can be celebrated and be acknowledged. Each shape and colour tell a story from your Matisse inspired cut outs.

Drawing The Chatter – Oil Pastels

Exploring our mind filled chatter with this vibrant medium that can be used to express what is going on inside ourselves. When an expression is revealed, it can be explored further through inquiry and or poetry.

Worry Stones – Acrylic Paint and Permanent Markers

Useful for relaxation or anxiety relief. Painting your own stones may help to focus on an idea, emotion or even calm the mental clutter. This activity is a practical way to channel the senses or mental energy to create a tangible, positive and creative outcome.

Dream Incubation Pot – Clay

We all have dreams, some are our subconscious nightly image filled dramas, and others are the wishes we dream for ourselves. Not all dreams need to be explored and probed immediately. They can be honoured and set aside safely or ritualistically to mature for future growth.

Transformation Mask – Collage

Exploring the inward and outward perception of persona can reveal a great deal about the self. Working to understand the masks we wear as we seek to transform or transition in life can help with their inner awareness.

awake/asleep – Collage

Collage can be used as an excellent way to look at your state of mind as you go about life. Ask yourself…Are you awake or asleep? Are you numb or feeling vibrant with the world? Collages are a way to explore your state of mind, a personal intent, your hopes and dreams and offer an alternative way to express yourself more fully.

Scribble drawing – permanent markers

This kind of activity can be enjoyable for clients to build confidence, to look outside the box, explore levels of self-awareness, relaxation and so forth. Messy work can be complimented by exploring aspects of the work that feel good, that don't and why. The finished product can remain as is or be used in extension activities to make a fan, butterflies or even the wings of bird.

Dolls – creating, making, realising

Sometimes called Wishing Dolls, Spirit Dolls or Worry Dolls. The perfect homemade tool to put forward positive intensions. They can project love or demonstrate your inner care for others. They are little guardians to watch over you or loved ones, hold a wish or channel your dreams. Spirit Dolls can be made from anything, from nature, recyclable items from around the home or just purchase what is needed.

Insight – Imagery Cards

Sometimes called Divination Cards, a person can look into their golden light and shadow self. A person can gain resolve and inspiration from light filled images, however there may be times in our lives that we need to dig deep and draw on our shadow side to achieve goals or conquer challenges. This type of self-exploration activity is not limited to the use of prepared cards, anyone can seek out their own images and create personalised cards to reveal insights and personal power.

Healing Symbol – Painting

Inner resources or personal grit can be discovered in many ways. Here we see a symbol that came through during a meditation and drumming sequence. This symbol that can be called upon whenever needed. To expand on its symbolism the image is recreated and painted on the body to personalise and instil its qualities in the wearer.

The Mind Body – Lead Pencil

This image formed part of a series of creative expressions, all using different mediums. In this case, an activity that explored the process of The Body Mask was mentally and visually transformed to reveal to uncover The Body Wisdom.

Meditation Sample

......So we're going to begin. Sit or lay, whatever makes you comfortable. Now gently close your eyes. Pull all of your focus inward into the centre of your chest and breath. Just breathe into the present. Listen to whatever feelings or thoughts that are sitting with you. Allowing them......

Mandalas – Water Colour Pencils

Mandalas are one tool that can be used to develop awareness of the mind and focusing attention. It is also used in sacred spaces and can support meditation.

weaving Your Ancestral Story

Weaving can clear the mind and keep the hands busy. As an extension to work with intentions and ritual, create ancestral orbs and discs to represent those that watch over you on your journey forward into a life of wellness.
