WRITE WITH EMMAJ

Art As Resilience:

An opportunity to embody your artistic/expressive self in an open-hearted group experience.

Co-facilitated by Emma Jarrett & Sarah Guest.

Gather with others to be expertly led to feel comfortable in your body, tapped into your neurology and connected to your creative powers. We will use poetry and prose, journalling prompts and abstract drawing techniques to help you navigate your own wild and artful self. Learn the basics of your own nervous system, what it needs for resilience and prepare to be delighted as you connect to your body, your creative heart and to others daring the same.

  • connection to your unique abilities

  • knowledge of the workings of your nervous system,

  • a felt memory of "your heart's content" as a tool for self-guided resilience,

  • a reframe that any anxiety around writing, drawing, judgment or embarrassment can be held with compassion as you do it anyway and delight yourself (and probably others!).
