Blue Butterfly Art Wellness offers a plan of action for December and 2025. Art Therapy is a valuable tool, just like music therapy, their values are often diminished and misunderstood. Art therapy when delivered properly, can be a tool of great impact as it tackles the unconscious mind through images, feelings and emotions and can go deeper and be more effective than just words. Unlike Europe, in Australia, as a nation, we do not value, 'art' or 'music'. In our schools, art and music are secondary and often pushed to the side. In the playgrounds, our children are angry and confused and yet, if you get them something to draw or listen to music, you can see their bodies and mind begin to relax. This, as my grandmother would say, is because the Arts have the ability to pe*****te one's soul. Don't think twice about Art Therapy, just do it!

Art therapy sessions are available on Tuesdays at 12 St. Johns Avenue, New Town.
