Art from the Heart

Visual arts can offer you a support system that honours your feelings, emotions and allows for needed time out. Creating art can result in a sense of relief as well as give rise to positive mental states. The arts are also a great distraction and of course they let us use our brain in new ways.

Join Mady Mooney, Art therapist, for a series of classes. Throughout your artistic journey you will build a deeper relationship with yourself in a safe and intimate environment.

Please note that artistic skills are not required and it is impossible to create anything that is not correct. You will be invited to create a scribble drawing, a Mandala, a painting while listening to music, and intuitive paintings that express topics of special meaning to you.
