Blossom زهري : Art Therapy Workshops

“I never imagined the amount of information that would come out of a small drawing on paper. It was amazing how much did come out of that.. I was given insight that I wasn’t aware of, which gave me a sense of empowerment, and then I was able to make the decision that I wanted to from that.” - Patricia, Breast Cancer Patient (Source)
ARE YOU A BREAST CANCER PATIENTS OR SURVIVOR?
Give yourself a chance to RELAX, REFLECT and RECONNECT with yourself (and others) through art.
Artichoke Studio and One Wig Stand invite you to take part in a unique art therapy workshop to delve deeper into matters of importance to you and reshape your cancer experience.
“Art Therapy is a mental health profession in which clients, facilitated by the Art Therapist, use art media, the creative process, and the resulting artwork to explore their feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety, and increase self-esteem.” - American Art Therapy Association, 2015
Through art-making and intimate group discussions, the workshop aims to help each participant express her emotions, and gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of herself. In a playful and nonjudgmental environment, important issues will be tackled through different artistic mediums (such as drawings, collage, clay, etc.) over a course of 8 sessions.
The workshop will provide you an opportunity to:

Relax, play and get distracted from any pain you may feel.
Express any emotions that may be difficult to verbalize.
Build your self-esteem and strengthen your body image.
Cope better with stress, grief, fear, anxiety and depression.
Become more self-aware of your emotions and needs.
Communicate and interact more effectively with your family and surroundings.
Connect with others who are going through or have been through a similar experience and find comfort, freedom and hope through this support network.

Sessions will be lead by Myra Saad – M.A. in Art Therapy & Mental Health Counseling.
No prior experience in art is required to take part in, or benefit from, art therapy. Confidentiality is highly respected.
