Talk by Sue Kennedy ‘Art Therapy’ – 13th Sept 2022
On 13th September 2022, 7:30pm we are pleased to have Sue Kennedy speaking to us about Art Therapy at the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, George St, Windsor. This will follow our Annual General Meeting.
Art Therapy Talk by Sue Kennedy
Sue will talk and demonstrate how despite being enormously beneficial for those people experiencing difficulties, Art Therapy is also suitable in emphasising healthy aspects of a person’s life.
By focusing on art, regardless of form, a person can explore their own creativity, providing themselves with valuable insight into who they are, especially in relation to certain areas of their life.
Art therapy is based on the theory that creative expressions can foster healing and emotional well-being. It lets individuals communicate their personal experiences and has been proven that creativity allows people to discover their self-identity.
It also helps to heal people by improving their mental health, and improve physical health by alleviating stress and anxiety.
For those who are ready to change their life and live from love and not fear Art Therapy may be for you.
Sue runs workshops and also one on one sessions.
