If we all were to claim our creative faculties, what a different world it would be!

Life is sustained through enthusiasm for life and ‘the will to do’ (Assagioli). Both of these qualities can be accessed more easily through artistic work than through most other activities, and they seem instrumental in finding health, purpose, self-esteem and fulfillment in life. When we experience life as a work of art, the process of creating becomes part of our conscious, ongoing human development. Healing can occur when we take the responsibility for our creation, accepting it and appreciating it unconditionally. One of the main goals of the training is to develop and refine artistic skills which cultivate and express the above qualities.

Therefore the ongoing art work and different art materials are leading tools throughout the Healing through Art training courses.  There is common ground for budding and accomplished artists alike.  Tuition and support is given to practise painting, drawing, and sculpting with clay, playfully and deeply, and to increase the ability of seeing more clearly through art making.  It fosters the development of an inner sense of flexibility and movement
through colour, line, and form in their respective expression.  Healing through Art brings about a visible relationship to self, the natural world, to our spiritual aspirations and values in life.  Reading and studying from a variety of relevant books and artists, as well as keeping a sketchbook for reflection and integration is part of the training. 

The Foundation Course gives the incentive to establish personal artistic practice firmly for ongoing learning and development.  It is certificated and CPD approved.

I have talked non-stop since I got back about how excellent the course was. I have made my spare room into a studio, and put up most of my pictures. I feel really inspired. M. D.

You have led me into a new world. Thank you so much. M.B.

Thank you for helping me to remove the pressure I felt with art and to see the enjoyment and fun again. I have a completely different outlook on my creativity. L.M
