Healing Artistic Trauma: Weekend Intensive Workshop
Healing Artistic Trauma
A 2-day immersive experience
Begin Your Artistic Healing Journey
Do you long to reconnect with your creative spirit but feel held back by self-doubt, fear, or past experiences? Healing Artistic Trauma is a two-day immersive workshop designed to guide you through recognizing, processing, and rebuilding your relationship with creativity.
Led by trauma-informed facilitators, this experience offers a safe, nurturing space to explore your artistic journey and take meaningful steps toward healing.
Day 1: Recognition & Processing
On Day 1, we open the door to your artistic healing by acknowledging and processing the experiences that have shaped your creative path.
Through a guided visualization and timeline exercise, you’ll map your artistic journey, identifying key moments that have impacted your relationship with creativity.
Morning Highlights:
Mapping Your Artistic Journey: Explore your creative history and pivotal moments.
Understanding Your Blocks: Assess and uncover how creative blocks impact your daily life.
The afternoon focuses on emotional regulation and expression. You’ll craft a personalized Emotional First Aid Kit with grounding tools and practice gentle art techniques to soothe the nervous system.
In the Protected Expression exercise, you’ll use creative therapy techniques to symbolically represent feelings, unlocking a safe channel for emotional release and understanding.
Afternoon Highlights:
Emotional First Aid Kit: Build practical tools for emotional grounding.
Protected Expression: Engage in trauma-informed art therapy to explore emotions.
The day concludes with journal reflections, group breathing exercises, and setting intentions for the next step in your journey.
Day 2: Rebuilding & Moving Forward
Day 2 centers on rediscovery, confidence-building, and creating a sustainable plan to nurture your artistic identity. Reconnect with your creative self through exercises that explore your values, passions, and definitions of success. A “What Lights Me Up” collage will help you visualize what inspires you, while a gentle reintroduction to your chosen medium encourages a focus on process, not product.
Morning Highlights:
Identity Exploration: Clarify your values and redefine success on your terms.
Skill Reconnection: Rediscover your creative tools in a mindful, judgment-free space.
In the afternoon, we shift focus toward building confidence and envisioning a sustainable creative practice. Together, we’ll create weekly rituals, identify support systems, and develop strategies to protect your creative boundaries.
Afternoon Highlights:
Building Confidence: Share skills and celebrate progress in community.
Sustainable Practice Planning: Craft actionable steps to support ongoing growth.
We close with a reflective group discussion, anchoring the experience with a sense of connection and direction. Resources for continued support and information about our 12-week follow-up program will also be shared.
Your Healing Starts Here
This immersive weekend is your opportunity to explore and transform your relationship with creativity in a compassionate, supportive environment. Whether you’re beginning your artistic healing journey or seeking to deepen your self-discovery, this experience will equip you with tools, insights, and community for lasting growth.
Take the first step toward reclaiming your creative joy.
