yogaSOMATICS & ART THERAPY
The Magic of Creative Expression
with Ateeka & Ola, April 21-23, 2023
Do you want to learn more about how to listen deeply and find meaning in your body’s messages to you?Are you curious about the hidden messages in your own drawings, paintings or dreams?
Join Ateeka & Ola is an introduction to the MAGIC & MEANING that emerges when we express ourselves through creative means . . . movement – drawing – painting – writing . . . and look at the symbols, colours, shapes and themes of what we have expressed.
Within each human is the natural aspect of creativity. This natural quality of creativity has the potential to change life at the deeper levels, both emotionally and psychologically.
When we cannot find the words and feel stuck, it is helpful to look for other ways to reach into oneself. Images and symbols help reveal meaning and insights that are already within us.
While many associate art with creation of a work of art, somatic-based art therapy has an entirely different perspective. In this naturally creative process, the technical result of the art is NOT important, but instead we give value to the the actual expression and feeling in the images that emerge.
What will we do?
WE MOVE – WE DRAW – WE EXPLORE THE DEEPER MEANING of our own EXPRESSION
Each day includes guided yogaSOMATICS movement, breath work, healing practices and guided relaxations with Ateeka. These somatic practices will help you to come into the LIVING EXPERIENCE of your own BODY . . . listen a little deeper to the sensations and messages . . . and gently open a door to a deeper contact with yourself.
From the movement practices, you will be invited to express your movement sensations, emotional atmosphere or a dream that you have had . . . out on paper by drawing or painting. Each participant gets the opportunity to go deeper into the magical symbols and messages that emerge from the unconscious through the drawing by verbal exchanges with Ola and sharing in the group.
So, to benefit from this course, one does not need to be able to paint or draw . . . one can simply learn to express themselves creatively. A line, doodle or a color can give meaning and understanding in an expressive art & movement setting setting.
This is an an experience-based weekend . . . offering an experience of a wonderful self-development and creative expression process.
