So.. what happened to art remedy?

For those of you interested, I thought I’d give a little update on what I’ve been up to. At the end of last year, I finished my Bachelor of Psychology and decided to pursue a personal dream of sailing around the world.

In February, I joined my friends in Malaysia to help them fix up their boat. The intention was to spend 3 weeks fixing the boat up, then hit the water for Indonesia. Little did we know 3 weeks would turn into 4 months.

After months in a boatyard and an uncertain launch date, the crew decided to split for a much needed two week break.

My friend and I wound up on the beautiful island of Tioman, where we made good friends, one of which managed an abandoned resort which has sort of become a second home.

Afterwards, I decided to continue with my travels and found myself in Sri Lanka completing my yoga teacher training and then driving a tuk tuk cross country from the coast to the mountains.

Now I’m back on Tioman Island, this time with more friends from the boat. Our new launch date is in a week and we will be heading to Sumatra to see the orangutangs (which I learnt about in during a behavioural and learning psychology course in my second year of uni); but alas, with boat life, who knows!

All in all, it feels full circle to be back in Tioman, and looking back, the past few months have been a beautiful detour from the original plan to take.

I’ve learnt a lot, grown a lot, and been inspired in many ways by many people I’ve come across.

I’ve been playing with the idea of someday creating an art retreat of my own (and I can’t help but feel bubbly inside when I do), but for now, my heart is still with the high seas 🤍

are your definitions of success sabotaging your own happiness? I wonder what would happen if we all reassessed what success meant to us, particularly given the current state of our planet, and an environment in which we are taught more is better.

Are pottery classes really just about making cups?
I truly believe the answer to that question is no.
Art is not only a fun way for children to express themselves, but it is also a beautiful tool we can use to facilitate healthy child development.
Pottery teaches children that whilst they may not be in charge of much at this stage of life, with clay they can be the creator and commander of something. This process empowers children to know they are competent and capable of making change, instilling the belief system “I can do it!”
Throughout our workshops our kids also get to know Bradley, a special octopus who’s magic only works if we Care, Share and Respect one another.
He has three eyes which watch the room and he offers our students three guiding choices in moments where they may be straying from his magic principles.
If a child is able to get through our workshops without needing more than 3 of his guiding choices, his magic hat opens and he gifts them a treasure he has collected on his adventures.
This is a positive take on the whole 3 warnings system, one that rather than threatens a child to make the right decision, empowers them to.
This is a simple concept you can implement at home to help your child manage their behaviour in a positive way. For more information on how, head to www.artremedy.com.au

Throughout the ages of approximately 5-11 children are developing unconscious belief systems about their capabilities.
We are very excited to now be working with schools to help children develop their self-confidence and competency by providing them with the opportunity to acquire new skills and master increasingly complex tasks.

Art allows your thoughts to come forth via a different route
The left and right hemispheres of the brain specialise in verbal and visual function, combining the use of both integrates the brain.

Words from a beautiful 8 year old client of mine, (we were having a conversation about dealing with loss and what happens to people when they die): “you know what I believe, I believe for you there’s a you in the sky, for me there’s a me in the sky and for everyone else they have a them in the sky.”
What a beautiful way to put it, it is a true privilege to learn from children and the magical way they see this life.

Beautiiifulll art at the Tarnanthi Exhibit.

I particularly loved this painting by Kaylene Whiskey. It is done on an old SA tourist attraction sign and illustrates the kungkarangkalpa tjukurpa ~ seven sisters creation story.

the painting illustrates Kungka kunpu ~ strong women, and how they support each other and love to have fun together.

I can’t even explain why I love it so much, but I’ll try.

1. How Wonder Woman shouts out Dolly Parton and her coat of many colours - one of my favourite songs with such an important message

2. I love when worlds collide, combining traditional indigenous knowledge with pop culture, old and new etc. it’s a reminder we aren’t all so different after all

3. The disco ball, cat woman in funky boots, and flag one piece . It’s just so full of fun. sometimes we just need a reminder that life’s actually meant to be fun!

A question I’ve been really liking lately is ~ Are you making yourself miserable on the pursuit of happiness?

100% just recommend going to check out the exhibit yourself if you’re looking for something to do in Adelaide💕

Meet Bradley, a special member of the Art Remedy team.
Bradley is an octopus who offers three guiding choices to help our less settled kids stay on track during our sessions. If our kids can make it through the session without needing his help more than three times, he lets them pick a treasure out of his head he has collected on his adventures.

I’ve used him in clinic with my kids who struggle to sit still and stay on task, and it has been amazing seeing the transformation exercising their own willpower and ability to make a choice has had.
The good news is that this is something parents can easily recreate at home. So.. what do you need? Whilst children can most definitely come in for sessions with me to create their very own creature that helps them make their decisions, if this concept is something you would like to recreate at home, it does not have to require a kiln.
You could use a teddy bear who sits on top of a box which holds special treasures instead.
Treasures don’t have to be big things, I use shells or crystals I have collected, sometimes stickers or special gel pens. You can even suggest to your child that they can hold the teddy to help themselves hear what decision their heart wants to make.
I think you’ll be surprised to see that with a little patience, kids are very capable of naturally making the right choices. They don’t have to be made to feel inadequate or unacceptable to do so. They can be empowered to!
