Transpersonal Art Therapy

Transpersonal Art Therapy is a powerful method to tap into your inner landscape and explore your own personal imagery and symbology. You do not need to be an artist to successfully engage in the processes I will guide you through. Art therapy can utilise an array of media to include collage, pastels, paint or clay. Beyond expression with creative media, other transpersonal processes that can be explored within a session include dream exploration, collective and personal mythology, meditation and journey work, ritual and ceremony.

Transpersonal Art Therapy allows the participant to travel within themselves in search of healing, strength and personal wisdom. ‘Transpersonal’ literally refers to travelling within by means of meditation, which takes you on a journey beyond your conditioned thinking and into a deeper state of relaxation where you can access a higher state of consciousness. Doing this allows you to release what is hidden in your subconscious and bring it into cognisance.

‘Art’ and ‘Therapy’ are both associated with healing. To create art from within has an inherent healing power. The images you create can be amplified to facilitate new understandings and insights. Artmaking can be particularly useful to verbalise overwhelming emotions from past and present crises and memories and can help with;

-navigating life transitions
-developing self-awareness
-working with trauma and/or grief
-boosting self-esteem and self-concept
-understanding and alleviating anxiety and/or depression

Creative therapeutic processes formulate new perceptions that lead to positive growth and healing.
