Register for OctoberNo experience with art or art therapy is required. The intention of this gathering is to explore process rather than product.
Art as Integration
Join us one Friday each month at 6pm at Give Rise Studio in Frederick to gather and create.
This monthly practice is a space where you can engage in the process of art, rather than the creation of a product.
The images you create are messages from within, usually from internal spaces where words don’t reach. Join us for this therapeutic art gathering where you can explore your inner world and make sense of what words may not be able to express.
Crossing the Threshold
Each month's gathering will be inspired by a theme. As we enter into Fall and a darker time of year, we're crossing a threshold of sorts. We cross many thresholds in life: childhood to adulthood, leaving home, becoming a parent, ending a relationship or starting a new one. Pain, wisdom, joy, grief and healing are thresholds we cross again and again throughout our lives. Light and darkness and back again are thresholds we cross each year with the seasons.
This gathering is an opportunity to turn inward and reflect on where you are. Have you recently crossed a threshold? Is one opening in front of you? Maybe you're moving through something big, or maybe you simply want to honor the turning of the seasons. Either way, you're welcome here to look inward and reflect on the transitions at play in your life.
Register for OctoberArt as Integration
Art therapy can be beneficial when traditional verbal therapy leaves you feeling disconnected from your process of healing. It can provide a unique therapeutic experience for expressing your thoughts and emotions when words alone are vague and hard to access. Using art to process a psychedelic experience, or any transition, can take the pressure off of having to make logical sense of it, and can allow you a space to process nonverbally. Missy has completed the level 1 & level 2 Certificate in Psychedelics and Art Therapy from the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute, and can offer a safe space for you to process and integrate your insights in a way that is supportive and makes sense to you.
Meet Missy
At Mind Body Wellness, Missy provides Art Therapy to help you understand yourself and to reopen spaces within you in a gentle manner.
At different times in our lives we find ourselves feeling lost, isolated, disconnected, and fragmented. During art therapy experiences, Missy works with you to untangle those stuck and at times inaccurate thoughts and feelings. The thread that carries throughout all of Missy’s experiences as an Art Therapist is compassion for the thoughts and feelings initially created to keep you safe, and an unwinding of what no longer serves you.
