Transpersonal Art Therapy

On Transpersonal Art Therapy
A colourful journey with many facets and opportunities. A diverse path towards more meaning, empowerment, integration, growth, insight and healing.
Art Therapy is for everyone, it is about the creative in us, which is inherent in all of us. Often we lose that creative connection in childhood when we get told what do create, or even that we are not good at it. Art Therapy is there to help you uncover that child-like desire in you, and with that it brings back a strong sense of self and empowerment.
I see two main aspects in the process of Art Therapy. One is "Connecting" and the other is "Creating".
The "Connecting"
There are many possible processes, all aiming to engage in different ways with the inner, to access the unconscious, to free from the mind, to get out the hidden, to connect with the creative.

We use

imagination,
intuition,
breath,
movement,
dreams.

We do

meditations,
symbol- and image work,
dialogues with different aspects,
journaling work,
focusing,
to name a few.

The "Creating"
We work with Oil pastel, Dry pastel, Gouache, Clay, Earth found objects.
We create Paintings as the main expression, it can also be Masks, Clay works, Nature art.
I offer

A save, open, encouraging environment for people to explore and express themselves
An opportunity to express without being judged
A well explored path towards healing
A environment where you feel encouraged
You are the sailor on your journey, you give the direction, the speed, the height and colour of the waves. I am your first man, assisting you on your journey in the best of my experience and knowledge.
The wisdom is within you, I help you do uncover it.
Art Therapy is specially helpful if you go through time of transitions and change to get more clarity and direction from your inner.
It is powerful to let new aspects of yourself emerge:

to bring out a hidden voice
build up new resources
move towards more self awareness and love
feel more empowered in life
get a deeper understanding of who you are
strengthen your intuition
access healing power within
If you want to gain more understanding about yourself
If you are open to explore new paths
If you take responsibility for your healing journey
If you think you cannot paint and draw
... then the Art Therapy might be for you.
The Art Space
I believe that the space, the setup, where we are creating is very important - to how we feel and what is possible during the processes.
My studio is in a dome tent, a beautiful hemispherical space in the garden, it allows you do be in a enclosed space but at the same time outside, close to nature. The round or hemispherical room is especialy good for its energy movement.
