therapeutic art exploration (Oakland)

Description

Hi. I’m a local artist exploring the emotional and mental healing dimensions of art. I am deeply interested in psychology, specifically depth/archetypal, IFS, and transpersonal psychology. I am also into spiritual, nondual traditions. I’m looking for 2-3 like-hearted people willing to explore a therapeutic approach to art together within a personal/collaborative art practice. You don’t have to be an artist to participate! I’m considering us working through “Recovery of the Inner Child” by Dr. Lucia Cappachione, that focuses on the integrative and healing aspects of reconnecting with your inner child. I am a huge fan of Dr. Lucia’s work, and fascinated with her suggested use of bilateral drawing to access insights, repressed parts, and creativity associated with right hemisphere of the brain. Read more about this book here: https://a.co/d/03b4g56S (The editorial review includes a lengthy excerpt from the book to give you more insight into her background and approach.) If you’re interested, please: - tell me a bit about yourself - why you want to join - your general availability There a lot of details (where/when/what) that I haven’t ironed out, but I’d like to do discuss that collaboratively anyway. Please include the word “collaboration” in the email subject.
