About this event

Do you want the opportunity to join like-minded people in a friendly and supporting environment? Are you interested in taking some time out and maybe even getting the opportunity to know yourself a little better?

These sessions will provide a space for you to choose your own (artistic) adventure. Whether you want to brush away the week and work on mindfulness-based art exercises or take the opportunity to explore the areas of your life that are most important to you, then these sessions are for you!

Session schedule:

First and second Thursday of the month - these sessions will allow you to choose between a number of art therapy and art-as-mindfulness activities, to fit the kind of experience you're interested in.

Fourth Thursday of the month - these sessions will focus on specific self-development themes. The Art Therapist will guide you through the session with activities based on the session's theme.(NB: It's not essential that you attend both sessions, however attending both sessions will help maximise the benefit of these sessions)

A variety of art materials and activities will be made available to help you easily participate in any session you attend.

There will also be opportunities to discuss ideas and share thoughts with the group, as well as the Art Therapist, however sharing and contributing to discussions is optional.

If you haven't participated in art therapy before or if you don't consider yourself "artistic" - that's ok. No art making skill or experience is required. All are welcome.

Registration is not compulsory, but is preferred.

Myli staff and the art therapist may photograph and/or film this event. Your image may be reproduced in publications and/or promotional materials (including online publications), on the relevant websites and/or on social media. If you do not wish to be photographed and/or filmed, please advise the organiser at the start of the event.
