Releasing Trauma Codes through Drawing

In this online workshop we will use drawing as an embodiment practice, to enable healing right in the here and now. 

Using art making to address trauma is not new, but often the creative therapies focus on understanding our healing through cognition and language. In this workshop we will focus on body sensations, rather than verbal experiences. We will be using body-based, bottom-up approaches, accessing movement, rhythm, touch and connection with the brain and body.

We are not drawing in the traditional way of making images, we are using mark making and expressing the language of our body; our key tools are that of movement and inner connection.

The powerful method in this workshop uses techniques informed by neuroscience, we will access both sides of the brain. By connecting our primitive feeling brain with our human thinking brain in this gentle way we can process, integrate, and recover from trauma.

The drawing is a process of connection. It's a way of listening to our body. I will guide you to create a tangible connection with yourself and experience a healing transformation.
