Transpersonal Art Therapy
If you’re feeling like you need some time out, peace, and a chance to reconnect, you might like to try Transpersonal Art Therapy. At Revival Retreat Artworks & Framing, we offer a safe, supportive environment for gentle personal reflection through Transpersonal Art processes.
Come and explore the restorative benefits of art and mindfulness, guided by someone who understands creativity and wellbeing. Tammi is a Registered Nurse with a love for all things creative. She has combined these skills with an Advanced Diploma in Transpersonal Art Therapy. Tammi can support you through this grounding practice to help you slow down and reconnect.
Individual and group sessions are available by appointment only.
Curious and want to know more? What is Transpersonal Art Therapy?
Transpersonal Art Therapy brings together mindful, creative approaches that encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings through artmaking. It offers a gentle way to reflect, express yourself, and gain new personal insights.
Key parts of this approach include:
Mindful, creative expression: We use creative expression, such as drawing, painting, mosaics, or viewing art, to explore feelings and experiences that may be hard to express with words. Many people find the creative process calming and supportive.
A whole-person perspective: We recognise that people are complex and consider their emotional, physical, and creative needs together in a grounded, practical way.
Personal insight: This gentle process may help you become more aware of patterns, responses, and inner experiences as you create.
