Draw It Out - Teens block course

A fun and deep way for teens (11-17 year olds) to learn to process their feelings.

Theme: Listening to your inner voice
Learn how to listen to your feelings and find guidance from within, using a gentle powerful tool called Interactive Drawing Therapy.

Teenage years can often be filled with external influences, making it hard to listen to our own inner voice for guidance. This 4-session block course teaches teens how to use drawing to process hard feelings and access their own inner resources, which can be used at home as visual journaling.

Dates
This block course consists of 4 workshops:
4.15pm-5.30pm
Tuesday 19th August - Metaphors for feelings
Tuesday 26th August - Uncovering needs
Tuesday 2nd September - Unlocking self-compassion
Monday 8th September - Curiosity in direction

Cost
$46 per session, $184 total

Included in each session
You will be guided by Lara Phillips, a trained creative facilitator in Interactive Drawing Therapy, through drawing prompts (similar to a guided meditation or journaling) to draw out where you are at and draw out your own inner guidance. No art skills are needed, more simple mark making.

This gentle yet powerful tool uses drawing and writing as a way to access your subconscious and to listen to your heart rather than your head for guidance. A tool often used in therapy, it is made accessible for self-care and community wellness through these workshops.
