These Therapeutic Art activities can assist the process of talk therapy in changing our thoughts, beliefs and feelings using affirmations to increase confidence and visualizations to rewire the brain and transform your life.

Mindfulness is a practice rooted in Buddhist techniques and philosophy. Mindfulness helps to promote mental, emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. Mindfulness practices aim to increase our awareness of the present moment with a sense of acceptance without judgment. Mindfulness practices address emotional challenges, physical pain and relationship, bringing compassion, forgiveness, loving-kindness and joy to our body, heart, mind and community.    

We work together to promote self-discovery, thus understanding the blocks to our awareness that promote suffering, as well as cultivating the key attitudes of mindfulness that break down those blocks:   

Non-Judging Attitude

Patience

Adopting a Beginner’s Mind

Trust

Non-Striving

Unconditional Acceptance

Faith & Letting Go. 

Learn to apply mindfulness practices and self-compassion to yourself, your relationships and your daily experiences. 

Learn practices such as: 

 Body Scans

Deep Breathing 

Developing Curiosity & Awareness

Enhancing Sense Perceptions

Meditation & Mantra Meditation

Mindful Movement

Practicing the Pause

and more!  

As we work together, we begin to clear our thinking and energy blocks. Through our mindfulness sessions, we learn to become aware of our defence mechanisms and our experiences in the world. Mindfulness helps us gain insight into how the practices of fitting and labelling limit our awareness. 

Mindfulness practices move us from a place of fear, disconnection and emotional unrest to a place of congruence, inner peace, and authenticity.

*We offer specialized sessions to meet specific needs and run an 8-week program to help participants free themselves from depression and emotional distress.
