Open Studio: the therapeutic benefits of Mindful art making
Open Studio: the therapeutic benefits of Mindful art making, is a creative art therapy method, which combines the wisdom of mindfulness and creative process within the non- judgmental atmosphere of an artist’s studio. This combination generates spontaneous art making proven to be cathartic in the process of healing one’s self. Through both didactic presentation and experiential process, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of this often misunderstood therapeutic intervention.
