It can be a lot. Often you are the last person who is thought of. One can not pour from an empty cup. \nThis creative arts therapy session invites carers to explore reconnecting to their emotional wellbeing\, using curiosity and art materials as a pathway for reflection. \nThrough a playful exploration of colour\, texture\, shape and other creative means\, participants will have the opportunity to discover what their emotional wellbeing might look like and what helps them feel more grounded\, calm and ready to pour from a fuller cup. \nThere is no need to be an artist. Instead\, we’ll focus on process rather than product\, creating space to notice\, explore and make meaning from our experiences. \nCome along\, get curious\, and reconnect with you.
