 Art Therapy 

Our founder has background in Psych Counseling with concentration in Art Therapy – creating art as an adult is great way to put what your feeling on to paper – this also allows our inner child to come out and play giving us the mental permission to be free – not that we need any to do so but sometimes our subconscious needs extra encouragement  - if you have kids you can also work through these exercises with them too. 

Make your mind, body and spirit sing through art therapy exercises:

1-     Draw or paint your emotions – in this focus entirely on your feelings and paint it.

 2-     Create an emotional wheel – using color this activity will have you thinking critically about your emotions.

3-     Make a stress painting - Choose colors that represent your stress and jab, scribble and paint your problems away. 

 4-     Make a sock puppet– Sock puppets aren’t just for kids. Make your own and have them act out scenes that make you upset.

 5-     Use line art – Line is one of the simplest and most basic aspects of art, but it can also contain a lot of emotions. Use simple line art to demonstrate visually how you're feeling. 

6-     Create a sculpture of your anger -you will never send- For this activity, you’ll make a physical manifestation of anger in your life.

 7-     Paint inside a heart – Using a heart as a pattern, fill in different parts of the hear with the emotions you’re feeling right now. 

Take time just to be and create space to release any feelings that may come up during your Quarantine your mental and emotional health is just as import to maintain as your physical body.

- stay postivite and safe from our heart to yours
