About this event

Sometimes you could feel unmotivated because your self-judgement and being overly critical is stopping you. This workshop will offer insights into your individual creative process, tools to manage burnout, and challenges to overcome in finding your creative identity.

Art Therapy for Creatives is a FREE workshop for creative adults who practice across the arts (visual, music, dance, writting, etc.), and are looking to engage their creative processes in service of a positive emotional journey, while showing the importance of the creative act.

This group was inspired by conversations had by Lindsay with her friends and colleagues around creative burnout. As a visual artist herself, Lindsay understands how it feels to struggle with the motivation to create due to factors such as harmful self-criticism, perfectionism, and social media comparison. She understands how art therapy can benefit creatives, specifically, as it relates to their art practice and creative identity. This group will offer space to prioritize creative enjoyment, experiential art directives, and supportive discussion to help creatives gain insight into their creative identity.
