Focusing Australia

presents

Focusing & Art Therapy Weekend Workshop

a perfect combination...

Saturday 26th May & Sunday 27th May 2012     

10AM – 5PM

$420 / $380

 

Focusing & Art Therapy

Focusing incorporates a gentle way of inner listening, an empathic way of being towards oneself, and provides access to the body's innate wisdom. Through Focusing, access to imagery occurs through the bodily felt sense of an issue, situation, or experience.

Focusing adds an aspect of mindfulness to the art therapy process, along with a sense of groundedness to the image through the felt sense of the body. Experiences of self-compassion, self-care, inner trust, and authenticity are heightened.

No experience with art making is necessary for this workshop. The end product is not as important as the process.

The Facilitators

Jo Kennedy After a 25 year meditation practice Jo was deeply moved when she discovered Focusing. It has enriched her life, shown her how to build strength in her cancer recovery and given her access to a deep source of creativity and healing. “Learning to listen to this deep, more bodily knowing is the most exciting journey I have ever been on” she says. Jo is a certified Focusing practitioner/trainer, trained by internationally renowned Inner Relationship Focusing teacher Ann Weiser Cornell.

Robyn deVries co-founded the Melbourne Art Therapy Studio in 2005, has an MA in Art Therapy and a diploma in Gestalt Therapy and is completely sold on the power of the “here and now”, phenomenology and compassion. She facilitates Art Therapy groups with a large variety of clients and works individually with clients and runs workshops at the Melbourne Art Therapy Studio and elsewhere.

What people say about the Focusing & Art Therapy workshop

  • I enjoyed your commitment and unjudging manner. I liked that you were also open and exploring. [.....] numerous aspects of what we experienced the connectedness, truth, sensitivity and being amongst women was a delight and refreshing. Thanks for the “crystal insights” and new horizons  / windows creaking open.
  • I liked the mix of focusing / art therapy...
  • Thank you very much for a great day. I enjoyed every part of it. I think focusing and art therapy complement each other very well and Jo and Robyn achieved a great balance.
  • Thank you for such a gentle and calm experience. I really enjoyed the haikus the best. I am one to write and write and it feels so good to get it all down in a few words & it really sinks in. Brilliant!
  • [I] found the experience useful in many ways on many levels. The interaction between Jo & Robyn was relaxed and respectful, both of each other and the group. Day well paced – would be a great 2 day as the level of work or depth lends itself to great growth and profession experience. Thank you both very much.
  • I like the different modes of self expression throughout.

    I like the time and space for being within myself
    The duration and material is just nice for me for a day’s workshop.
