It was a great honour to meet with John & Linnea to discuss eco-emotions (eco-grief, eco-anxiety and solastalgia) and share ways of managing, care-taking, accepting and soothing these, including caring for the environment.

💗 This workbook is grounded in and inspired by EFT and the Gottman method. It guides you through your own past, traumas, challenges, and schemas to help identify areas for work, growth, and change inside of your relationship.

🩵 It helps you and your partner highlight and name your individual needs and hopes in the relationship so that both of your voices are heard and valued. Broken down into 5 sections and 27 prompts, you and your partner can move towards deeper connection and healthier forms of communication.

💟 Additional suggestions and tools are provided at the end of the workbook for you and your partner to try.

There's something so rewarding about facilitating groups & workshops.

It's cost-effective, builds a sense of community, fosters a sense of belonging, and helps reduce stigma. It helps to know you're not alone.

I've had a few requests for group therapy recently that got me thinking: why not make a place where people can request groups and workshops so here it is.

Anything from emotion regulation, stress reduction, or confidence building to social skills, anxiety management and eco-grief. If you have a group or a workshop idea you'd like to see happen, submit your request at: Wellnessgrovetherapy.com (on the home page!)

And for colleagues looking to collaborate, drop me a line! 🌟 🤩 ⭐️

I will be facilitating a drop in crafting circle at the All Saints' Anglican Church in Westboro, for four Sundays in a row beginning October 19th, at 11am until 12pm.

This is a fundraiser for the tree of giving, and all crafts created during the four Sundays will be donated to the tree of giving, which will continue to grow until the Church makes their final donation during the holiday season.

All are welcome, there is no cost or age restriction, and no skill required. Myself (Registered Art Therapist/RP) and Sarah Marcos (student art therapist) will be co-facilitating and will be available for guidance/instruction should anyone want to try knitting or crocheting but have no previous experience.

You are also welcome to bring crafts from home to work on, as this circle is also simply a practice in meditative community, using art as therapy/art as prayer.

Circulate to those who you think may be interested 🙂

Week 4 of our group & tonight's theme brought with it a resurgence of memories, experiences and symbols from my past. (Pictured here the screeching stone on Tara & the wishing tree).

Here's the invitation should you like to participate :)

1. Take 5 minutes to simply free write words in response to the words mystical, spirit, and divine. This will help you hone in on your connection to and story of the divine.

2. Take another 12 minutes to write a flash story using the words you wrote down. You are free to also include the original three words (mystical, spirit and divine).

3. Re-read the story back to yourself in your mind and pay attention to any images, colours, sounds that show up in your mind. Put the story down and close your eyes, sit with the reflections of your story and re-invite that curiosity of “mystical and divine” and your relationship to spirit. Notice what comes up.

4. Draw what your relationship to spirit looks like. If you were to put this into imaginal form what would that look like?

Narrative reflection:

What is my relationship to spirit and the divine? How do I invite spirit into my life? How does spirit show up in nature, and how can the trees strengthen my connection to spirit?

Last night, we had our 3rd session for the Parts of Trees/Parts of Me virtual art therapy group.

Week 3's theme was Bark/skin & protection.

For those who are unable to join us but who may still be interested in exploring these parts of self, you can follow along with the prompt below:

1. What does my “bark” communicate to the outside world: how do I translate to the world what I want them to know about/see about me?

2. How do I keep myself safe from the outside world? What are the parts of me that act as protection?

Want to delve even deeper? Explore the narrative side of things:

1. Write a short story from the perspective of your bark: you can imagine how the bark developed, what you may have encountered in your life up until this point to create the protective layer, how you maintain the protective layer, and if and how you “drop” the protective layer and around whom? What needs to happen for you to feel “safe enough” to pull away the bark and expose yourself to an other in vulnerability?
