Course Description
Poetry and visual art can be an invitation to the expression of a condensed soul picture, a portal to our inner world through images, colour or words. I have experienced that empathy, through the gate of compassion for self and others, needs the nourishment of the arts to grow. It is empathy that unfurls our heart, that opens us to our own soul and that of the other.
In these 7 sessions we will touch into our soul space, opening a warm space between us, through guided self- reflection, speaking and listening to self and others, creating simple gestures in visual art, and being guided in individual and group poetry writing.
