EXPRESSING GRIEF ARTS THERAPY PROGRAM

8 Week Program (2.5 hours per week)
Option 1: In Studio - Sunshine Coast (if local)
Option 2: Virtual via Zoom

The Expressing Grief Arts Therapy Program has been designed to support you in exploring your inner world, tapping into your grief, thoughts, and emotions, and allowing you to express these in a range of creative and therapeutic arts therapies. Arts Therapy combines the creative process and psychotherapy which allows self-exploration, grief-exploration and understanding.

During this program, you will learn how to communicate your sorrow and unlock repressed emotions, by offering a pathway to externally express inwardly held emotions which is especially important if you are struggling to put your grief into words. You will be provided with a safe and supportive space to help you understand and process your grief, and you will learn a range of healthy outlets for your grief and learn to integrate holistic strategies into your life as you cope and work through your grief.

This program is designed for anyone grieving a loss in their life, and in search of connection with other grievers, understanding, support, healing, and hope for the future.

This program is limited to 8 participants to keep the group small and intimate.
