Online Community for Courageous Self Expression
The Garden Within: A Therapeutic Focus Group (Launching Soon)
Since ancient times women have been in relationship with wildflowers. Wildflowers draw us towards them with their dance, exquisite beauty and diversity. their colourful palette, taste, fragrances and healing powers.
Wildflowers throughout all the ages are noticed, loved, tended, inspire creativity, are used in ceremony and ritual, are given and received as gifts and are a language.
social status: divorce / separation / empty nest / widowed / death of family member
health: diagnosis / illness / realignment to vitality and fitness / peri-menopause / menopause
career: job loss / career pivot / want out of the corporate life
edges: metal load / emotional load / dysfunctional dynamics / deconstructing religion
sea change / tree change / moved house
We compassionately journey alongside each other as individually and collectively we encounter: beginnings and endings, nourishment and adversity, growth and beauty, triumphs and homecomings through botanical metaphors and the expressive arts. No artistic ability required, this is a therapeutic group using expressive arts processes for self exploration and amelioration of liminality.
