Last Friday I planned a very special clinical art therapy group. We started by going for a walk and gathering nature tokens, while being very thankful and mindful of nature. We then proceeded to creating some rubbing art, where we would make impressions of what we had gathered with pastels.
I was so proud of the effort of the group because pastels is not an easy medium as it is incredibly messy, but they persevered and really let go and enjoyed creating. I am so thankful to be able to do sessions like this and have the liberty to create little workshops that encourage mindfulness in nature, and bring about a curious mind for expression and for creation. I am fortunate to see the growth and resilience in adults who identify with disabilities. The only limit is our own mind when it comes to creating art.
The art tokens will be used to create collages in our next session, where we grow our appreciation for the beauty of northern Ontario and it's diverse color scheme this time of year.
Take some time to appreciate fall's changing colors.
