Past Group Themes

Spring 2025: Glow in the Dark

Our Glow-in-the-Dark group

Art therapy leans on the intersection of 2 elements- metaphorical lens to explore our inner lives and art materials to narrate our stories. The metaphorical theme of this group cycle is GLOW. And considers the ways we have and share our light with others. The art material foundation is a large “coffee table” style BOOK. This object serves as a container to hold and elevate our personal art pieces. We start each session with a welcoming ritual and a personal sharing prompt. We introduce a creative exercise (a bonding game, guided imagery or concept brainstorm) followed by a specific art directive. Members are invited to consider personal connections and encouraged to share about their lived experiences and insights with others. Group members are doing an amazing job holding space for the larger vision while working on a smaller piece of artwork each week.
