Healing with Guided Drawing Workshop

Blending traditional and western sensorimotor healing practices, this workshop will allow connection with our body, mind and spirit through play and art therapy. The workshop will incorporate a bilateral drawing approach that supports body mapping in a trauma-informed way. It will feel like giving yourselves an internal massage with the goal of fostering deep connections to yourself and others.
