BENEFITS:
Transformation Through Creative Expression & Meditation is the first in a series of therapeutic expressive arts courses by creator, Michalla Brianna that will allow students to:
Affirm their inner most desires.
Create soothing spaces at will.
Examine important moments.
Feel empowered through understanding the darkness & light within.
Increase self-love & gratitude.
Meet enlightened guides.
Unearth creative forces.
MODALITIES:
The Expressive Arts are a globally recognized, therapeutic method with the ability to reveal meaning, enhance clarity, externalize and give form to unconscious or repressed ideas, allow for mind-body-soul integration, and alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety. This is done through the use of multimodal constructs that allow students to explore various emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in a variety of creative methods which add depth to the journey or process.
Meditation and guided journeys have existed for thousands of years a a means to reduce stress, encourage emotional balance, increase ones ability to focus, reduce pain, lessen anxiety, diminish depression, enhance memory, promote compassion, and inspire productivity.
As you can imagine, combining both meditation and the expressive arts becomes a uniquely transformative approach to self-discovery. However, it important to note that not all of your journeys will yield positive images, and THAT IS OKAY. While I want you to be safe and do what feels right for you, I won’t discourage you exploring both your shadow self and the light. Afterall, some of our greatest opportunities for growth lie in the deeper recesses of our mind.
Join a course where anyone can benefit and embark on a virtual journey where NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE or CREATIVITY is needed. A space where judgment and criticism are asked to remain outside, and where you can take a moment of your day to decompress in a safe environment filled with possibilities.
