Stroll & Scribble Phoenix Sculpture Garden - an art expression circle in nature
Event description
Join creative art therapy practitioner Phoebe Hofsteede for a morning of nature therapy and art therapy combined at the beautiful Phoenix Sculpture Garden in Mt Glorious, where we will connect with our natural surroundings & each other, exploring our creative expression.
Together we will stroll through the beautifully designed gardens where many of Graham Radcliffe's sculptures reside, providing inspiration to create our own drawings & markings, finishing with a sharing & reflection circle afterwards.
Absolutely no artistic experience or 'talent' is required. The aim of art therapy is purely the process; journeying with nature, body & creativity. All that's required is an open mind and curious heart.
