Still processing how special it was to be a part of Camp Hope this week!!!! Guthrie Hospice really wowed me with the effort and love put into this children’s and teens bereavement camp.
I appreciate them welcoming art therapy into the program!!!
Campers not only embraced learning the art of batiking…. They also embraced understanding how the process of batiking can match the journey of grief and healing.
They learned layers of hot wax that eventually cools is similar to emotions of pain and sadness shifting to resilience and peace. We talked about the many layers of paint and wax matching layers of our story and feelings. We watched colors of paint mix sometimes on purpose and sometimes by mistake, discussing the messiness of grief and how there is no perfection in this process.
I love their finished products but more importantly I loved their process. ❤️
