SELF CARE for PROFESSIONALS-Treasures In The Sand’ Workshop 27th Jan 2019

This creative therapeutic and experiential workshop provides you with self-care whilst also learning techniques you can share with your clients.

Recognised professional development by the ACA, this ‘Taster’ introduction to Sandplay therapy workshop, facilitated by Kerryn Knight – Sandplay Therapy Master Practitioner, allows you to witness and experience the power of sandplay and gain insight for yourself and learn how it can benefit your clients.

Sandplay is a wholistic approach to counselling and psychotherapy.

Sandplay is for all ages. Children love it and adults are amazed by its profound ability to get to the core and make meaning.

By using miniature objects that symbolically represent all aspects of life, you can display your inner world so it can be looked at from all angles revealing what underlies the current situation and gain a deeper understanding of issues and find solutions. Sandplay gets to the heart of the issue quickly and easily through bypassing the analytical mind and instead focussing on the ‘felt sense’ response to an issue.

KOORI SPIRITUAL HEALING | Bespoke Art Therapy Program

The purpose of the ‘Koori Spiritual Healing Workshops, designed and facilitated by Kerryn Knight of Empowered Art Therapy for Ngwala Willumbong Ltd and Youth Justice – South East Metropolitan Region is three-fold.  The overarching purpose is to provide a culturally appropriate creative outlet for connection with culture providing the potential for spiritual healing.  This is achieved in 3 ways.  Firstly  through a series of specifically designed meditation and creative processes the participants will have an opportunity to connect with their culture for spiritual healing.  They will gain tools to find their unique ‘voice’ to share and positively re-frame their story.  Secondly the participants are invited to create a group piece.  This group piece is used as a vehicle for teamwork and leadership, champions are promoted as they work together towards a common goal and art outcome.  The art outcome is used to decorate Ngwala Willumbong giving the participants a greater sense of connection with the service.  Thirdly Kerryn, through her open style of sessions in a nurturing setting at Kindred Art Space promotes a sustainable support network for the participants as they get to know each other in a non-judgemental and relaxed environment beyond words.

SELF CARE SUNDAY-Plant Your Vision Workshop

What vision do you want to cultivate for yourself in 2018 ?

Plant Your Vision Workshop

This unique workshop designed and facilitated by Kez Knight – Transpersonal Art Therapist, combines a vision board process and borrows from the Traditional South American ‘Despacho’ making ceremony where you create a parcel of dreams and wishes and offer it up to the powers that be.  The workshop involves guided imagery and creative and empowering processes to plant in your garden or have indoors.

In this ‘Plant Your Vision’ workshop you decorate a bio-degradable clay container etched with the year 2018.  Noting and drawing your dreams on paper, you symbolically plant your dreams and wishes along with a herb seedling into the clay container.  Throughout the year, you can nurture your herbs and benefit from its produce.  At the same time you symbolically plant your dreams and wishes for your year ahead and benefit from their cultivation.!  Think of it as a living, growing vision board !

In Spanish, the word Despacho literally means “dispatch or shipment” – Traditionally it means to ritually prepare a bundle of natural, meaningful and cultural objects of symbolic significance imbued with the maker’s prayers.  Offerings of; gratitude and thanks, atonement, petitions for forgiveness, assistance or guidance. You could perhaps think of  the ‘Plant Your Vision’ despacho workshop as a focused, formal way to “dispatch” or “ship” your prayers off to the powers that be.

The Power of Intention – The ‘Plant Your Vision’ workshop is an opportunity to really focus on any areas of your life where you feel you need support or would like to ask for blessings.  It is quite a powerful way to set your intentions and let them go using the universal law of allowing.  You may be surprised to recognise in the weeks and months following this workshop that you are indeed receiving the things you asked for, though perhaps in an unexpected or unusual form, perhaps in a way more appropriate or powerful than you could have dreamed of on your own.

The Kindred Art Space Labyrinth

Following the creative process Kez will invite you to walk the Kindred Art Space Labyrinth.   A Labyrinth, symbolic spiral is created on the floor at Kindred Art Space made from natural objects for you to walk along carrying your creative process you have made during the workshop.   Labyrinth’s are designed for spiritual healing.  It helps ground the wisdom you have gained by the therapeutic processes of the workshop and bring this into your daily life.
