Description
The course includes a manual on Art Therapy. (Current January 2024)
A Minimalist Lifestyle beckons!
This course is about introducing 'Lagom' into your life. In a sense it is the international element (along with Hygge) of the Holman Protocol. BUT there are also several ART THERAPY exercises and various tips to help you save time in your life!
With this course you will cover:
Death cleaning
Decluttering
Lagom in the home
How this is NOT Hygge
Art Therapy
and other international elements.
IMPORTANT
This course is very much about application. Therefore 'course collectors' who do not ask questions, discuss, offer comments etc will gain little, if anything from simply letting the lectures run and then collecting a 'Completion Certificate'. The Holman Protocol (Lagom) is about wellbeing, improving your life - but at your own pace.
Not too fast; not too slow.
No mass enrolments of non-sharers, non-contributors etc.
Just people who want to live, love, share and grow.
Numbers will be kept low with the aim of encouraging everyone to gain through group involvement.

Almost Random Theatre is a theatre company started in 2012. After putting on plays at Oxford and Brighton fringes, taking actors to Poland and Czech Republic, selling plays to schools, putting on many short plays in Oxford, visiting 60+ schools and running 'drama days' it was decided to...slow down.
The theatre's main contribution now is helping with numerous Art Therapy courses.
