Elemental Art Therapy: small groups starting soon in Kaslo and Revelstoke (and can be adapted for locations across BC - msg me if you'd like to put together a group as I am able to travel).

Four ppl min, 8 maximum. We will work in-person with natural elements to ground, create, reflect and process emotions and life experiences, vision the way forward, and share in a safe, confidential group (sharing optional). Hosted by a registered Art Therapist.

Give yourself the gift of presence and pause with Nature's support, this Spring 🌱 🌞 🌊🌲 Also great for team-building at work 😃

Msg me with FB, email christine@tinyisland.ca, or comment 'ELEMENT' to receive notice when dates are decided (this will be a weekly group running for 4-6 weeks) ❤️

One moment, “My partner is horrible!” The next, “It’s all my fault; I should be grateful.” This is called splitting, a trauma response rooted in insecure attachment. It’s your body’s way of trying to protect you from pain and uncertainty.

When your nervous system feels safe, something new becomes possible: emotional integration. You can feel anger without losing sight of love. You can see your partner’s strengths and hold them accountable for their impact. You can honor your pain while staying connected.
