This single-session therapeutic group is meant for those in the healing/helping professions. The emotional stamina required by your line of work can be intense and you deserve a space to re-align and connect. We will work with the grounding potential of nature and art as a way to get out of our minds and into our bodies in gentle pursuit of self-care and emotional wellness.
This gathering is offered on a sliding scale ($25–$75). Please choose the ticket price that feels fair and manageable for you at this time. No proof of income is required—your honesty and self-assessment are enough. Your contribution helps make this space accessible to a wide range of participants.
During this event we will:
- Release stress
- Combat compassion fatigue
- Play with creativity
- Get messy
- Paint
- Draw
- Explore
- Experience your senses
- Express emotions through art
- Find mutual support and community
Frequently asked questions
This descriptor is intentionally broad. If you feel your professional role centers around helping others, you will be right at home in this group. Some examples of helping professionals include doctors, nurses, therapists of any kind, teachers, paraprofessionals, social workers, case managers, etc.
Definitely not. No prior experience with art or with therapy are necessary. The focus of the artistic part of this gathering is not about what you make, but about the process of making something and using your creative energy!
This age restriction is in place to help with group cohesion and because of the need to obtain parental permission for minors. If you're teen or parent and are interested in this type of group, please reach out to me at emiliekpsychotherapy@gmail.com for future group info!
