The Mirror Field is a 9-week creative therapy circle weaving together transpersonal art therapy, Jungian-informed depth work, IFS-informed (parts-aware) practices, sacred geometry, somatic regulation, Louise Hay–style mirror work, and the signature .

We move at a gentle, professional pace. You won’t be asked to perform; you’ll be invited to notice—through simple art, soft breath, and clear steps that help the nervous system settle and the creative self return. Most participants leave each week feeling lighter, clearer, and quietly proud of what they made.

A mirror can be a surface—or a portal. In this circle we treat perception as art: we meet our own gaze with kindness, create with simple forms, and let meaning self-assemble without force. The result is coherence you can feel—shoulders soften, breath steadies, self-talk becomes kinder.

Frameworks we draw from :

• Transpersonal art therapy: image-making as a bridge to insight and meaning.
• Jungian-informed: archetype, symbol, shadow—met gently through process, not analysis.
• IFS-informed (parts-aware): welcoming every part of you with curiosity and care.
• Sacred geometry: Seed of Life, Vesica Piscis—shapes that steady attention and invite balance.
• Somatic practices: nervous-system friendly breath, orienting, and micro-movement.
• Louise Hay–style mirror work: short, choice-based self-witnessing (“I arrive as I am”).
• Active Kreative methodology: process-not-product, time equity, witnessing over fixing, clear safety.

Scope note: We are a therapeutic-arts program and not clinical psychotherapy. Our use of Jungian/IFS is informed and non-clinical, adapted for gentle creative practice.

• Online weeks (self-guided): Complete anytime that week (10–60 minutes). Camera-off welcome.
• In-person weeks (Cheltenham): Deep, hands-on workshops in a small group. All materials provided.
• Final week: A gentle, celebratory close with shared reflection.

When: Saturdays, Oct 11 – Dec 6, 2025 (Melbourne time)
