Created with no expectation, no plan, no ideal

Reflecting a collective call to growth and change, light and guidance, movement away from the watery depths

What are you asking or answering in your own artwork?

What does freedom mean to you?

Some collaged thoughts:

Please join the ADTA Students and New Professionals Sub-Committees for their inaugural panel:

"The DMT Journey: Who You Are + Who You Are Becoming."

On Sunday, June 5th from 12-2pm (ET), our intergenerational conversation will spotlight four incredible panelists as they share their unique DMT origin stories and ever-evolving visions for the future. These inspiring Dance/Movement Therapy leaders of tomorrow, JEDI trail-blazers, educational experts, alternate route stalwarts (and so much more!) will then meet in breakout rooms with attendees to continue the conversation. This will be a wonderful opportunity for students and new professionals to speak directly with a panelist about one of their areas of knowledge and expertise.

All ADTA Members and Non-Members are welcome to attend this *free* virtual event by registering here: https://bit.ly/3MpMYaU.

✨join me for a special one day workshop of guided art making on May 15!

✨ Participants will be guided through an art therapy directive to help reconnect with personal values, interests, and goals. Participants will be invited to try an array of art materials including markers, oil pastels, and collage to create a "self portrait" to feel more aligned with their authentic self. Art therapy is for everyone, no art experience needed. This class is intended for adults, but mature teens are welcome.

How can art making help?

-Relieves stress and anxiety

-Encourages healthy self-exploration and insight

-Powerful outlet for emotional release

-Meditative in nature, inherently therapeutic

-Allows you to be in touch with your inner child!

Time: 1:30-3:30

Cost: $35

Experience level: None! Art is for everyone.

Found word poetry collage following the prompt “things I love” 💚

How are you reflecting on what you love today?

✨Vision Boards! A meditative practice of collaging your goals and dreams. As art therapist and writer of the book “Visioning” Lucia Cappachione suggests, taking time to pick any images that speak to you and then arranging in a collage that can be displayed and viewed can help you dream about and reach your goals. This vision board is about my art therapy practice. I intend to lead more hike&paint and other outdoor workshops this year, as well as open up my walk-and-talk individual sessions again when the weather warms.

✨I have current openings! I primarily work with young adults and teens moving through stressors related to anxiety, ADHD, disordered eating, and grief. Email lenadeleolcat@gmail.com to schedule a consultation call.

😆I love the Awkward Yeti comics- Painting or creating is a FANTASTIC way to let yourself feel and express your emotions! And scrolling the phone is unfortunately a fantastic one to avoid them 😆 Brain is instructing Heart to use painting as a distraction and avoidance here, but I think they could totally acknowledge and connect with that emotion monster and put it into their painting. Brain, you're OK! Emotions don't last forever!

My whole store is on sale for Black Friday, so if you’ve ever been on the fence about buying my merch, now is a great time!
