THERE IS A NEED OF SELFCARE FOR HELPING PROFESSIONALS. Nothing is as painful for a mother than the death of her newborn. I witnessed this trauma in 2019 as a friend and refugee aid volonteer. Each morning I had to lay my feelings down and process them to comfort my inner self crying, and I did it through the arts. Some days the only thing possible was to move paint around and create a prayer circle for to calm my heart, get grounded and feel strong enough to face the situation of the mother. Without this practice I would have shyed away, overwhelemd by secondary trauma and of no use to no one.

The 2024 sketch has been done recently, showing the mother in her kitchen. As cooking is essential to Nigerian folks, cooking was some sort of self-help to her to somehow get through the grieving times, although nothing could fill up the emptiness of her loss

FINDING ART SOURCES IN FAMILY STORIES
A friend told me about his grandmother and the quilts she made for him and his siblings. She spread them on the floor and all of them, - eight kids - were cuddling together while watching children comics on television, waiting for dinner to be ready. This story of nourishing family life made me create the piece, a symbolization of care and support for to grow and come to blossom in a safe environment (collage with colored pencils).

WHAt WE SHARE ... There is so much truth, honesty and love when sharing our experiencing in the intimacy of connectedness. ... Deeply touched by what I was honored to witness in my workshop group on 2nd day of the 2024 EFA Gathering (European Focusing Association) at Humboldt House Achberg GER. The workshop: 'How We Name It. Talking About Focusing Crossings' was not pre-designed but created out of the situation, using Felt Arts as means for expressing and exploring the sources of our saying in the doing. 👌🏻 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻 to my participants. You were wonderful ♥️!

SHIFTING MEANING THROUGH ABSTRACTION Taken a Sunday afternoon sketch, abstraction creates new meaning: From leasure, fun and easy going to the existential (The new scenery showing the departure from the African continent for to cross the Mediterranean Sea with risk and death as companion). The aesthetic atmsophere has changed completely. And know what? This change was not intended! It was the action of artmaking that evolved ... and I did not notice till finish 😮! ... Well, in retrospect it's clear: Any action and any act of art is a implicitely forwarding (Gene Gendlin)!😊🎨 Check this out: artsfocusing.com
