SESSION Abstract: Art as a Pathway to Reflection and Wellbeing.
This illustrated presentation explores the therapeutic role of art in fostering self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth. Drawing on my own creative practice, I will share artworks developed through compassionate self-enquiry, reflection, and mindful observation. The session considers how artistic engagement can provide a space for contemplation, insight, and healing, regardless of previous artistic experience. Through stories, images, and discussion, we will examine how creative expression can help us navigate life's transitions, deepen our understanding of ourselves, and cultivate greater wellbeing. Participants will be invited to reflect on the transformative potential of art in everyday life.
Date: Wednesday 10th September
Time & format: The course will start at 10am, with a coffee and tea break followed by a lively facilitated discussion to answer all your curious questions. The course will finish at 12pm each week
