About Somatic Therapy and Art as Therapy
🫀 Somatic-centered therapy emphasizes bodily sensations in psychological healing.
🧠 Somatic psychology highlights the unity of mind and body, where negative emotions are stored as muscle memories, resulting in physical discomfort and tension.
🌞 Through body-focused art making, we can better observe and care for our bodies, as well as understand and heal our emotions, stress, and even trauma.
🎨Material Requirements:
We will provide all materials needed for the experience
Previous art experience is not required; we emphasize that every one has the right to express and explore themselves via art
