Welcome to Healing Arts Centre
A place where you are invited to explore and discover your own unique artistic expression and in doing so, explore and discover a deeper understand of yourself and those around you.
Why Creative Arts?
This is not therapy, but it is therapeutic, and definitely no art experience is required. Symbols, images, and very simple drawings that have been spontaneously created without any aesthetic purpose in mind, can be deeply healing. Creativity opens a new space inside of us and gives us a new nonverbal perspective, understanding and way of expressing. Through art, life emerges through colours and shapes, rhythms and sounds to understand the past and redesign the future with new strengths, new resources as well as a new and deeper understanding of ourselves and those around us, this automatically raises the empathy quotient and perhaps even helps to develop new concepts all together.
I truly believe that expressing ourselves through art is valuable for each and every one of us, because all of us at times in our lives, have needed and deserved to have someone to listen to us, to care for us, as we work towards a better “self” and a better life. This is an extraordinary soothing and nonverbal way of expressing the unspeakable. The use of colours and shapes foster resilience to forge and face a new way of experiencing life.
Using and exploring art in all of its modalities, nurtures an awareness of the life changing impact and long-term sustainability that bringing creativity and artistic expression into one’s life creates. It’s where we discover an exciting way of being and of moving forward where with the use of percussion, dance, and colour we revive and celebrate new ideas and new visions for the future.
Creativity keeps your spirits up, it keeps your mind active and flexible, it inspires new ideas with yourself and with others, it celebrates diversity and innovation, it fosters resilience and understanding, and it is a brilliant way of helping us feel part of a whole, to feel connected.
