Workshops

Now, more than ever, creative practice can be a pathway home, through the external noise and chaos. So we’re back, from next week! With new invitations into the creative den, where we make in an exploratory way – for the joy of creating, letting our hands and bodies lead the conversation. You would be so welcome to join us online on Wednesday evenings to gather around the virtual fire, to make, connect, be and share.

Creative Discoveries Online: The Five Elements Series

Invitations in playing, dreaming, exploring and remembering our true nature. A creative community space held by 2 Arts Psychotherapists.

For adults of all ages. No experience or ability with art necessary! No fancy art kit required – we will make with what we can find in our homes.

5 Workshops inspired by: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether

Bi-weekly, Wednesday evenings, 6.30-8pm UK

Come on a drop in basis or receive a JUICY discount if you book all 5! £25 each / pay what works for you or £100 for all 5 workshops (which means one FREE).

Rosemarie Fordham and Rosanna Cooper (Art Psychotherapists) offer you a safe, supported space where you can express, create and really be yourself, whether you think you are “arty” or not.

Earth: Wednesday 5 March, 6.30 – 8pm UK (click here for details and tickets)

In connecting with the earth energy, we explore how it is to show up more fully in the world with our feet firmly on the ground. We will use art and mark-making to explore how it is to be on the earth plain with a greater sense of awareness.

Water: Wednesday 19 March, 6.30-8pm UK (click here for details and tickets)

We will connect with the element of water through freewriting, mark and art making. Water is vital to a sense of flow and life and can symbolise purification, rejuvenation and transformation.

What happens if we surrender to the flow of our longing and desire? What happens when we get blocked?

Fire: Wednesday 2 April, 6.30-8pm UK (click here for details and tickets)

In this workshop we use art/mark making to connect with the passion and power that sits within. Connecting with the element of fire we explore this vibrant energy, particularly helpful when seeking the drive and determination required to move forward in our lives.

Air: Wednesday 16 April, 6.30-8pm UK (click here for details and tickets)

In this week’s workshop, we will hold creative dialogue with the element of Air. Tuning into the vast spaciousness of sky, and our most intimate friend -the breath of life.

What does getting intimate with our breath bring us home to? And what do we want to share with others in communication?

Ether: Wednesday 30 April, 6.30-8pm UK (click here for details and tickets)

In this workshop we use art and mark making to explore the place in between. We will allow ourselves to step into the emptiness, the sense of space, from which all of life emerges, connecting us to our innate inner wisdom.
