14 May 2022 | Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Art Therapy | Day Workshop

A creative and explorative workshop integrating therapeutic art making with guided mindfulness practices.

The session includes: art making as a mindful activity, guided mindfulness practices, mindfulness of the body, compassion-focused practices and group reflection.

During the session there will be opportunity for self-expression, exploring care for oneself and others, investigating your direct experience and, practicing with others in a group context. You will be guided and supported during the workshop by the facilitator.

You are welcome to attend if you are a beginner, or more experienced, to either mindfulness and/or art making.

Please note: we are planning on delivering this workshop in-person at our centre in Kings Cross, London but may need to adapt according to Public Health England guidelines.
