Some of what you might expect to gain from group work is:
- being able to express your feelings through creative forms
- feel safe and grounded in your body
- develop intimacy with others
- learn to take risks
- develop insight into your relational patterns
- find your voice
- begin to relate authentically with others
- have greater awareness around your boundaries
- integrate the ‘shadow’ parts of yourself, moving towards wholeness
- reconnect with and begin to heal your inner child- access playfulness, joy, freedom
- connect with the essence of who you are, hearing the voice deep within
- feel part of a creative, conscious community
My approach to group work involves both creative art therapy forms and relational group process. Through movement, enactment of stories, myths and fairy tales, drama, role-play, voice, rhythm, poetry and art materials, we go on a journey of creative, embodied exploration. On the other side of this journey, we process the feelings and insights that came up for us, by sharing them in the group. This relational processes involves support, intimacy, constructive challenges, an opportunity to experience different ways of relating and opening up to something bigger than ourselves.
