Workshops Designed for Creative Empowerment

THE BACKGROUND

I was initially trained as an artist and I feel passionate about the language of art and its ability to communicate on a different and often more subtle level than that of oral and written language.  My aim is to enlist the power of this language to help individuals discover elements of themselves, their relationships to others and their relationship to life in general.   I am not interested in the more usual term of ‘Art Therapy’ where artworks are analysed in great detail in relation to the individuals who produce them.  My interest lies in empowering individuals through the process of creativity.  Emphasis is laid upon the process not the product, the emotions felt and the dialogue enabled between the creator and the creation.

This idea was inspired by the work of Michele Cassou, a painter, teacher and writer based  in the USA.  She has written two books about spontaneous expression; ‘Life Paint and Passion’  and ‘Point Zero – Creativity Without Limits’  These two books  set out a program designed to free the creative spirit within.  What attracted me to her work was the suggestion that the creative process was directly linked to the subconscious and that this process enabled the subconscious psyche to speak, through its own simple but powerful language.  Much can be silently learned about the self and ones inter relationships which transcends normal  speech and the written word.

These workshops are a hybrid form of therapy that brings together movement, hypnosis and painting designed to free the unconscious and unleash its powerfull language.
