Trust yourself 🦋🌼💖🌈🌞 (to use as many gems as you wish 😉✨)

Your inner voice and your intuition hold meaning. allows us to create space for self exploration, expression, and understanding. Through the creative process, we can connect with our inner wisdom, cultivate and grow confidence, and deepen our ability to nurture self-trust 🫶🏻

This week I facilitated an group that focused on using photography as an element of the creative process. We spent time capturing images around the art therapy room that felt meaningful using a polaroid camera. We then worked to create a frame to hold and contain that moment and memory 📸🖼️🎨

It’s OK to slow down 🐌

If there’s one thing I’ve learned to be true, it’s that simply slowing down is one of the biggest love notes you can send to your nervous system 💌

It’s also OK to feel heavy, grieved, overwhelmed, enraged, or whatever else you might feel in the face of the collective suffering, violence, and trauma we are seeing unfold on our news feeds daily. Hold yourself gently, and know that it’s okay to feel however you may feel 🤍

What does slowing down mean to you?

Yesterday I facilitated a spontaneous mixed medium workshop using collage and paint. We started by pulling 1-5 images from recycled magazines, and then worked to integrate those images with paint on canvas. This was the piece I worked on alongside the families that joined in 🦋🍄‍🟫

Reasons I love using collage images as a starting point:
- It takes the pressure off! sometimes you just don’t want to think about how you’re going to get started 💭
- It can be enriching to reflect on why a certain symbol or image called to us, why we like/dislike it, what emotions is evokes, or why we chose to include it 👁️
- It’s meaningful to transform an image you’ve chosen into something new ✨

I started this little flip book as an example to inspire an art therapy workshop months ago - and I truly forgot about her. I know you know! Shout out to all the unfinished creations that are hiding in the nooks and crannies of my home 🙋🏻‍♀️😉 Today, i’m picking it back up, and I’m excited to share the first few completed cards with you!

The intention of this art therapy project was to create a visual resource that is packed full of soothing self talk and affirmative language that prioritized each persons inner child. It provides a safe place to connect with, express, and hold the inner wisdom we all carry 🪬

What would the first card in your deck say? 💭

Happy Monday friends! Being that it’s the start of a new week, I wanted to share one of my favourite art journaling prompts, that’s rooted in mindfulness and tuning into the power of our breath 🫁❤️

Begin by spending time with the statement “I am” … 💭

Who are you? What makes you unique and special? What do you value about yourself? What makes you the strong and resilient human that you are? Create space to write/draw/paint/express your reflections however you feel called 🎨

Find a comfortable position to focus on your breath. Inhaling “I am”, and exhaling the words you wrote down with every breath. For example, inhale “i am”, exhale “creative”. Make your way through each word you wrote down, slowly honouring all the magic you bring to the table ✨

I am kind,
I am creative,
I am non-judgmental,
I am brave,
I am empathetic,
I am always growing,
I am in love with plants & nature,
I am strong,
I am enough,
I am beautiful.

Lastly, I would love to hear some of your “I am” statement’s in the comments below 🌈

For anyone who needs a reminder today 🖤

SO excited and grateful to announce that Inner Canvas will be offering a new art therapy group that I created to support adults coping with grief and loss. This group will offer a warm, safe and compassionate space to process your losses alongside others with shared lived experience. I know this past year has been overwhelmingly full of endless change, transition + loss, and I’m here for you.

A few important details:
♥ To ensure everyone’s health and safety the group will be held virtually 💻
♥ All members will receive an art material supply kit by mail before the start date 💌
♥ Artistic skill is NOT required here. Art therapy is about using creativity as a tool for communication and expression of inner thoughts/emotions. process > product 🎨
♥ Please visit my website (link in bio) for pricing and payment options ✨

Have questions for me? Please don’t hesitate to email, direct message, or drop them below 👇🏻💛
