Kaleidoscope Expressive Arts

Kaleidoscope Expressive Arts Therapy done differently. Compassion & support paired with art materials & emergent art processes for courageous self expression & re-wilding.

Individual & group support available. Art therapy is using art materials to explore feelings, thoughts and experiences that may be difficult to verbalise. An art therapy process may be something as simple as a squiggle drawn onto paper or a thumbprint pressed into clay.

Thinking of you. You who didn’t celebrate IWD: you who were not recognised or celebrated by anyone at all, you who suffered due to gender, you who received token recognition and then spent the entire day doing housework and mothering duties while partners had leisure time, you who spent the day alone (unintentionally), you who experienced injustice yesterday, you who are unsure how you fit (if at all) within “women,” you who are tired, burnt out, broke, discouraged, suffering, invisible… I don’t exactly know what I want to say to you except I see you. I sat today and sent a compassionate thought towards you, I pray it lands gently so you can know you are not entirely alone.

Weaving. Gathering. Defying loneliness. Permission to take time for you. Making. Chocolate. A cuppa. A beautiful morning together, thanks for hosting our women’s weaving circle.
💜 🤍 💚
Being together is powerful. Today we celebrate how far women have come and we contemplate the shifts needed to have equality.

I began weaving this to help me get to sleep. I felt my nervous system switch from over-thinking and over-functioning to regulating, nourishing and processing my day. A small weaving loom sits on my bedside table atm, I just reach for it when I can’t sleep or in the morning with my morning coffee and journal. Weaving a few rows shifts things for me. If you’d like to give weaving a try pop into the links, this Sunday we are holding a women’s circle learning freestyle weaving. Time set aside for you is so important, don’t let $ get in the way, tickets are “Pay what you can” 😊 🧶 💛 it’s also a fundraiser for community hub. Bring a friend. Don’t want to weave? Amity place is also a beautiful Opshop!
All welcome 🌈

There’s no wrong way and no right way to create when you are using expressive art techniques. We relieve the pressure of “right” and “perfect” and “art. It’s just mark making, colour, shapes and forms. Messy making. Join us every Tuesday for relief from the daily grind!

Expressive art making is a dance. We switch off planning & designing. We enter flow, tuning in our senses, responding to the art materials. Like dancing, we move to the prompts provided by our senses. Moving intuitively, Creating from instinct without planning, giving permission for our body to trust. Go with the flow. No right or wrong way. Playful. Explorative. Curious. Relaxed art making that simply evolves.
Cyanotype process is fascinating and fabulous to just immerse oneself in.
Take a friend who you think would love to do this workshop with you! Curious about expressive arts therapy? Messsge to find a workshop near you

Women have always gathered. Gathered to support, share stories, chores, create, share wisdom, sitting together side by side just to know they are not alone.
I’m hosting a Women’s Weaving Circle on International Women’s day, 💗(March 8).
We will gather to connect back to nature & Country, feminine energy & creativity, and each other. Knots & loops in raffia, vines, yarn, paper & fabric. (This is a free weaving workshop, weave how your hands want to move, not a structured how-to-weave class, but basic methods will be demonstrated). Weaving with our hands supports life rhythms, wellbeing and tells our story without words.
All welcome 🏳️‍🌈
Bookings essential.
Cost: by donation.
This is a fundraiser for Amity Place Community Centre. Amity Place is a safe space for all and a platform for change, offering support, awareness, and advocacy for everyone affected by domestic and family violence, intimate partner violence and sexual abuse and trauma. 💜

Art therapy because sometimes there are no words

We meet you where you are at. We provide safe spaces and art materials. We collaborate with you and encourage creative expressions that explore feelings, thoughts and experiences that may be difficult to verbalise. An art therapy process may be something as simple as a squiggle drawn onto paper or a thumbprint pressed into clay. We help people empower themselves to health and wellbeing through the creative arts.
