Groups, Events & Workshops
I have been offering groups, workshops and events for over a decade including being hired by:
Therapists to teach how art can be integrated into IFS for their own personal work and their work with clients
Agencies to offer trauma-informed group therapy using IFS, art therapy, mindfulness, somatic therapy and group support
Community organizations to offer workshops on responding to trauma and creating connections for community members impacted by violence, oppression and trauma
Corporate events for team building, creativity and self-care
I am able to offer one day or evening workshops, as well as to develop and facilitate group programming. Here are some topics that you may be interested in:
Integrating Art with IFS
Creative practices and art can support the IFS process, particularly through externalizing, unblending, befriending and mapping relationships between parts, as well as to support sense of Self and to build part to Self relationship.
Integrating art with IFS can be important to cater to a diversity of therapist/client’s curiousities, creative energies, parts and systems including people with ADHD.
This can be provided as an informative and experiential workshop. This can also be offered as a program delivered across 6-12 weeks to foster deeper connection with parts and self, and to develop a collection of visual reminders of parts to continue work after completion of the program.
Creating Self-Care
Using mindfulness, art and community to nourish in self-care and space to reflect on your needs and what you want to invite into your life. Practices are informed by art therapy, somatic work, mindfulness, polyvagal theory and neuroscience.
This can be provided as an experiential retreat-like event or as a support group to ensure a safe and committed space to practice self-care, as well as the development of a self-care habits and practices
Creativity & Connection
Using mindfulness, art and psychoeducation to support creative thinking and connection, particularly aimed at creating resiliency and team-building in the workplace.
One reason the arts is so important is because we actually experience our lives through our senses and by creating. Creative thinking encourages innovation, resourcefulness and learning. Creative practices in a group setting can also support teams to feel connected to one another, including feeling understood and inspired by one another.
This can be provided as workshop for teams or a wider organizational event.
