Personal Development, Creativity and Art therapy
In the South-West of France
Sat. 20th August to Sat. 27th August 2016
A week just for yourself… but not any kind of week
We all have a creative side. It is an important part of ourselves, a part that has often been neglected, stopped, buried, forgotten.
Here, you don’t have to know how to draw or paint.
Here, it really is about allowing yourself a space to use different materials (paints, crayons, pastels, clay, papers, cloth, writing) to let this creative side emerge, let yourself reach beyond the thinking, express whatever is there, what one is at that moment.
It is true that each person comes with their very own experiences, their ways of feeling and being. It is also true that, within the creative space, each can be touched in different and sometimes unexpected ways, go along personal journeys, journeys that can bring play, joy, discoveries, memories, healing, change, freedom, rest, challenge…who knows.
The week will see time shared between creativity and verbal exploration of the journey, as after each time of creation, there will be a space for sharing with the group, for looking and reflecting on one’s own process, without interpretations, without judgements.
The sharing in itself will never be an obligation, but it is certain that when this time is used, it allows for a witnessing and integrating of further understanding of what is expressed, bringing clarity, presence and movement.
This will be a confidential space, facilitated in English, by Anne-Marie Nimetz.
Practitioner and trainer in counselling (Diploma and Master in Counselling-East Anglia University-UK & Certificate in Art Therapy), I have worked for many years with individuals and groups, following the Person-Centred Approach, and also setting up groups using creative expression as an essential tool to further one’s own personal development.
(For those who desire it, this 36/40 hours week can also be accounted for, as part of continuous professional development- CPD ).
