Art as Integration
Join us one Monday each month at 6pm at Give Rise Studio in Frederick to gather and create.
This monthly practice is a space where you can engage in the process of art, rather than the creation of a product.
The images you create are messages from within, usually from internal spaces where words don’t reach. Join us for this therapeutic art gathering where you can explore your inner world and make sense of what words may not be able to express.
Welcoming Winter
Each month's gathering will be inspired by a theme. As we step into winter, colder weather, and darker nights, we have an opportunity to look inward. Honoring the turning of the seasons means following the patterns of and being inspired by nature. As you observe the leaves falling from the trees and the animals slowing down, you can see that nature is encouraging us to soften, rest, and slow down.
Rather than the outward expression of summer and autumn, we will lean into the quiet internal reflection of winter. Using art materials, you can begin to explore what may feel complex and hidden. This gathering offers a calm, supportive environment to gently look into the dark beneath the outward appearances, and uncover meaning and clarity that often resides within when you pause to inquire.
This gathering is designed to help you integrate, navigate transitions, and gather community support through periods of challenge. Join us to get curious about your internal world and discover the light that continues to exist, even when it can be hard to see.
Register for DecemberArt as Integration
Art therapy can be beneficial when traditional verbal therapy leaves you feeling disconnected from your process of healing. It can provide a unique therapeutic experience for expressing your thoughts and emotions when words alone are vague and hard to access. Using art to process a psychedelic experience, or any transition, can take the pressure off of having to make logical sense of it, and can allow you a space to process nonverbally. Missy has completed the level 1 & level 2 Certificate in Psychedelics and Art Therapy from the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute, and can offer a safe space for you to process and integrate your insights in a way that is supportive and makes sense to you.
Meet Missy
At Mind Body Wellness, Missy provides Art Therapy to help you understand yourself and to reopen spaces within you in a gentle manner.
At different times in our lives we find ourselves feeling lost, isolated, disconnected, and fragmented. During art therapy experiences, Missy works with you to untangle those stuck and at times inaccurate thoughts and feelings. The thread that carries throughout all of Missy’s experiences as an Art Therapist is compassion for the thoughts and feelings initially created to keep you safe, and an unwinding of what no longer serves you.
