MAGIS Creative Spaces

MAGIS Creative Spaces Center for healing & learning through the expressive arts. Services and programs for your wellbeing.

MAGIS Creative Spaces is a center for healing and learning through the expressive arts. As a center, we aim to create spaces of care through the personalized care and concern of our professional and trained facilitators and therapists who offer our services and programs. We are staunch advocates for the power of an arts-oriented approach to self-care, mental wellness, and resilience. MAGIS as a community also aims to increase the accessibility of opportunities for wellbeing to all sectors in society. Our services and programs are designed to enrich the experience of psychosocial interventions for mental and neurodevelopmental health interventions for growth. This is done through a combination of evidence-based, culturally relevant traditional and alternative therapies, and trauma-informed, therapeutic-practice-based programs. Services we offer:

Psychotherapy and Counseling
Creative Therapies (Expressive Arts Therapy, Art Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy)
Psychological Assessments
Applied Behavior Analysis


Programs:

Training and workshops for organizations on psychosocial support, self-care, and expressive arts-based approaches

On hard days, we might need a map to find our way back to our inherent resources.

Expressive arts therapist Carmen Richardson categorizes three types of resources:

💛 Inside resources - what traits do I have that make me feel alive, happy, peaceful, comforted, content, or proud?

📙 Outside resources - which places, people, activities, hobbies, music, stories, etc help me nurture more positive/healthy feelings or perspectives?

🙌 Body resources - what movements can my body do that encourage a sense of control over my thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and actions?

Write down or take photos of your resources to help you remember them when you need a boost of courage or energy.

When the team of Design Week Philippines shared their vision for this year's theme, we realized one thing: that the systems we live in are shifting towards ginhawa, towards wellbeing. What used to be, just under a decade ago, a topic discussed modestly in group contexts, now has a consistently growing platform on a collective scale. We see the shift reflected in our conversations with organizations and communities too - conversations that are searching for solutions to wicked problems, and discovering that the answer just might be in cultivating wellbeing. They are looking for the design of human services and experiences for groups and communities, that go beyond the service model designed for individuals.

We're grateful to join DTI - Design Center of the Philippines in opening Design Week Philippines 2025. Our Founder and Clinical Director, Gina Alfonso, will be moderating the panel discussion with Lucky Lopez, Misha Quimpo, and Carl Cervantes. They will explore how the role of design can bridge ginhawa - wellbeing and care - and our sense of growth and productivity as a society. See you there! 🌸

Since 2013, we’ve met and worked with communities from different sectors with their needs and the expressive arts at the center. The work is for us a continuous learning experience. We learn from people aged 3 – 80+; from groups in schools, workplaces, healthcare centers, shelters, care homes, government offices; from passionate communities working for human rights, vulnerable groups, the lives and livelihoods of indigenous peoples; from families, and couples, and friends doing life together.

This Mental Health Awareness month, we invite you to a conversation that puts you and your community at the center. We’d love to learn about your story, and to share about how the integration of the arts and health for wellbeing can support the foundation for your communities.

This offering of shared reflection is what has grown from the challenging past week of stretching to process what is happening, while ensuring we can show up for the work we need to do. As we move into the last quarter of the year, we continue to move in solidarity with all that the September 21 protests stood for. We are here with wholehearted efforts to serve for the wellbeing of our country, create and sustain spaces where people feel supported, and work with those who wish to learn to support others through mental health care and the arts.

Wondering about how our mental health was in 2024? We took a look at our Mental Health Quotient (MHQ) score from the Mental State of the World’s annual report, and we are at the ‘Managing’ category as a whole.

Hopefully, through the efforts of bringing mental health services to more people, information campaigns on encouraging the behavior of asking for professional help, and allowing the expressive arts to be used for processing and healing, perhaps our wellbeing as a country will find ourselves: ‘Thriving.’ 🌳

The month of September is Su***de Prevention Month. We’re thinking about one another and how internal and external concerns may have been overwhelming a lot of us recently. And how, at the same time, each day is a chance to start again, a chance to keep learning, growing, becoming.

✍️ Who are the people you can give your support to?
✍️ How can you show up for yourself and for others?
✍️ What activities can you delegate to another?
✍️ What kind of rest do you need to sustain the tasks on your plate?
