Transpersonal art therapy offers individuals an opportunity to explore alternative counselling methods in dealing with personal issues and change. Recent developments in neuroscience address the beneficial impact of art therapy on the brain, in particular the complex relationship between art, creative expression and neurobiology.
The goal of transpersonal work is for the individual to learn how to embrace in daily life by unlocking hidden potentials, promoting a sense of true self. This is done by:
- Creating our own story through art and writing
- Creating our own personal rituals and ceremonies
- Mapping out our life journey
- Exploring feelings and emotions through the body and in meditation
- Exploring symbols and imagery through art work and in dreams
Individuals from all walks of life can benefit from this therapeutic approach. Please be assured artistic ability is irrelevant when exploring and using art materials. Creative expression opens a doorway in dealing with emotional issues and crisis, promoting a path toward self-healing and a reframing of life issues. The experience is transformative and life changing.
Transpersonal art therapy expands our awareness to achieve mind, body and soul balance so that we can go out into the world and live a fulfilled happy life.
