Healing Art Making

Sessions are meant for ...

… those of us who seek a safe space to express and process our emotions, discover insights about ourselves, cultivate self-compassion, and connect to our inner wisdom. Through drawing, painting, collage making, modeling clay, creative writing and other forms of artistic expression, you will receive guidance according to your needs and capabilities.

Previous experience with creating art is not required. Come as you are, with openness and curiosity.

Sessions can take place in person (in Geneva) or online.

Who can benefit from art therapy?

Anyone! Without necessarily having talent or previous experience creating art. In the end, we are all artists.

Art therapy sessions can support you in working through and finding relief from many issues, such as overwhelming emotions, stress, anxiety (including COVID-19-related issues), or challenging life transitions.

It can also help you with setting goals and intentions, and more generally with self-discovery and personal growth.

How art making can heal

Art is a wound turned into light.

— Georges Braque

Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist.

— Eileen Miller

It utilizes the creative process, which exists within every individual, to promote growth, self-expression, emotional reparation, conflict resolution, and transformation. (…) It is a way to make sense of that which is painful, to create personal meaning, to enhance wellness, and to become whole.

— Cathy A. Malchiodi

Art is our one true global language. It knows no nation, it favors no race, and it acknowledges no class. It speaks to our need to reveal, heal, and transform. It transcends our ordinary lives and lets us imagine what is possible.

— Richard Kamler
