“It has really helped me get in contact with my emotions and to understand why I am feeling this way. I have found it difficult this last year with the pandemic, and although it took me many weeks to open up, it felt good!”

What You Will Learn

Each week, you will explore different self-development themes and creative techniques to support your journey. Through drawing, collage, mapping, and other expressive methods, you’ll learn to:

Apply creative techniques to look at challenges from a fresh perspective
Delve into self-development themes to better understand your own thoughts and feelings
Express yourself without pressure and develop confidence in the creative process
