This next group meets on Sundays from 11am-1pm starting on June 1. Total cost of the group (including the official artist way workbook and all supplies is) is $400 for the full 8 weeks. Payment plans are available :)

Creative Process Group for Grief and Loss

Do you feel overwhelmed by waves of grief? Are you struggling to find meaning after a significant loss? Do you feel isolated, like no one truly understands your grief? If so, you’re in the right place.

Through creative arts, we can give shape to our grief and connect deeply with our loss. In this group, you are invited to explore your unique journey using creative writing, storytelling, role-playing, and art-making. Each modality offers a way to express, witness, and honor your grief in a supportive and transformative space.

This 8-week grief group is a safe space where you can:
* Honor your grief and the loved ones or experiences you’ve lost
* Explore emotions through creative expression
* Connect with others who share similar experiences
* Transform grief into strength and resilience
* Heal at your own pace, surrounded by a supportive community

What to Expect:
* Creative exercises to explore your grief through art, writing, and movement
* Insightful discussions about the different types of grief and how they affect you
* Meaningful rituals to honor your loss and build resilience
* Practical tools to navigate grief with hope and purpose

Who is this group for? This group is for anyone who has experienced any type of loss. No artistic experience is required, and all forms of grief are welcome, including non-death losses (relationships, jobs, transitions).

Logistics:
* When: Mondays 6:30pm-8:30pm, starting 10/28/24
* Where: The Wellness Arts Collective, 3519 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90065
* Cost: $500 for the 8-week group (includes workbook, art supplies, journal, and materials). Payment plans available.

Facilitated by Amber Salik, AMFT

🎨 What is Expressive Arts Therapy? 🎨

Expressive arts therapy is all about using creativity—whether it’s through painting, writing, music, or movement—as a tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. It’s not about the final product; it’s about the process of expressing yourself in new and meaningful ways. Whether you’re an artist or not, everyone can benefit from the power of creativity!

In this post, I’m sharing how expressive arts therapy works, why creativity is so important, and tips on how you can engage with it more in your life—even if you’re just getting started.

Curious about how expressive arts can help you? I offer individual sessions, Flow Space creative drop-ins, and a The Artist’s Way group to help you explore your creative side and connect with yourself on a deeper level. ✨
