Join Intern Counselor Bree Bird in exploring how creativity and expression can be used to address mental health and well being. Free and open to the public ages 16+. Sign-up is required. Group size limited.
Creativity is a basic human need. Creative expression serves to support a regulated nervous system and connect us to ourselves and others. This group will explore mental health and well-being through expressive arts. Participants will be guided to connect to personal experience and find ways to express themselves through drawing, painting, sewing, building, collage, singing, dancing, writing, and other forms of creative expression that may arise. A mix of facilitated exercises and personal freedom of expression will be used. No prior experience with art, expressive arts or therapy is required. This is a therapy group, led by counselor-in-training, Bree Bird. A supervising licensed therapist will be on site. Group norms will be set, and expressive arts therapy process will be engaged.
