What is Art Healing?

Art is a primary language of the soul. Art is a path to deep wisdom.

Art is a path to healing.

When we make expressive or transformative art, something changes in the art-maker that is more powerful than the finished piece. This is art healing. The images we make, no matter the medium, reflect who we are back to us. Art brings healing by exposing a story that you can revisit or even re-story. Art healing helps us connect to our soul language and our deeper wisdom — knowing not with your mind but with your entire being. 

Expressive art complements and supports any experience of healing, depth work, and transformation. It always leads us to healing and wholeness.

In this process, we heal; we don’t cure ourselves. Art healing can (and often does) surface our griefs and our pains. But this is an invitation to deeper knowing. As we heal, the way we move through our wounds and traumas evolves. Healing doesn’t erase our wounds completely because wholeness says that all of us is welcome, including our brokenness. We have the invitation to move toward self-compassion and personal agency.

As a creative depth coach and Sacred Journey guide, I guide you through experiential art-making and other practices that help you to reveal your story and reconnect to yourself. I believe that we are sacred beings created in love and held by love, and that art is the language of the soul and of the sacred. When we listen to music, watch films, enjoy nature, bake or engage in other creative activities, we feel emotions and a deeper awareness than our logic or reason. Creativity and art connect us to our souls and to each other. And I believe that art is an important path to integrated wholeness. 

I hope we have the chance to make art together and uncover more of your story.
