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. 

The Things We Carry

Each month's gathering will be inspired by a theme. As we deepen into Autumn and move closer to the holiday season, it's an opportunity to take a look at how full our plates (and lives) are. What are you carrying, and how does it feel? Is there room on your plate or is it overflowing? Are there things on your plate you'd like to remove? Some empty space you'd like to fill?

This gathering is an opportunity to turn inward and reflect. Sometimes you don't realize all that's on your plate until you pause to take a look. When you intentionally make time to reflect on what you're carrying, you invite in more autonomy around the contents of your plate.

Art 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.
