Creativity as a Tool for Healing
When facing grief and loss, creative expression can be a light in the darkness, helping you navigate the complex emotions that accompany these experiences. Through artistic expression, you can find a safe space to channel feelings that may otherwise feel overwhelming or difficult to put into words. Activities like painting, writing, music, or other forms of creative expression can help you externalize your inner turmoil and find a sense of release and peace. By transforming pain into something tangible, creativity offers a pathway to process grief in a way that feels authentic and healing.
By engaging in creative activities, a sense of connection and community during times of sorrow can be fostered. Sharing artwork or personal expressions of grief can create bonds with others who are also navigating similar struggles. In this way, creativity becomes a bridge that connects people, providing solace and understanding in the midst of loss. Through collective expression, we all find validation for our emotions and experiences, realizing that we are not alone in our journey through grief.
Phoenix Wings Wellness Creative Expression Workshop
In August, Phoenix Wings Wellness is offering an afternoon of creative expression for anyone who has experienced a grief event in their lives, ages 10 and up. Join Mel, an experienced art therapist, to learn how we can use creativity in our lives to express and process grief. After losing her 2-month-old daughter to complications from a genetic disorder, Mel found solace and relief in creative expression (read more about her story here). You'll need to bring some photos and/or items that represent the person or event that has caused your grief and loss. Grief and loss are not restricted to simply death; they can also stem from other significant events, such as a house fire, debilitating illness, or divorce/family breakdown.
Investment: $40 per person, includes light afternoon tea, art materials, and a handout.
Date: 15th August, 6pm-8pm
