Artistic Counseling Buenos Aires

Go through the story of your life through this unique series of paintings:

In this series, you as the painter, are the main character. Your personal development is central. You will paint your (inner) life journey, passing; past, present and future. It is a road to self-awareness. Your paintings will help you see where you might feel blocked or out of balance. You will than get the opportunity to transform situations from the past and present and find a more balanced self. Besides the benefits of personal growth you will also learn a painting technique with a specific relaxing quality and provide yourself with some beautiful experiences (and images)!

During this course we will work with:
- a watercolor painting technique called wet-on-wet
- body-oriented exercises to strengthen the connection with yourself and to get in touch with your ‘creative self’
- we will start our journey with a specific image, every week I will guide you through the next
step

This course is for you if:
- you want to feel more connected with yourself and the here and now through working with creative exercises
- you would like to provide yourself with some valuable insights and learn how to be more in balance
- you would like to share experiences with others
- you look for a fun and relaxing activity!

Practical information:
- the course will start at the beginning of February (there are 12 classes in total)

- at the end of the class I will give you some exercises to make at home during the week

Vaktherapie beeldend of muziek, spraak en drama. Daar is niets zweverigs aan! Heel concreet gaat het eigenlijk om 3 dingen;

Doen
In vaktherapie is gesprek niet het belangrijkste middel, maar de activiteit: het doen. Het maken van muziek, van een beeldend werkstuk, het doen van een sport of het uitspelen van een scène. Een enkele activiteit maakt soms meer duidelijk dan woorden kunnen uitdrukken.

Ervaren
Vaak is ervaring de beste manier om iets te leren. Zo leert u fietsen niet door erover te praten, maar door te doen: te voelen hoe u evenwicht houdt, trapt en stuurt. Uw lichaam, uw wil, uw gedachten en gevoelens zijn hierbij voortdurend in interactie en beïnvloeden elkaar. Bij vaktherapie staat de ervaring voorop.

Effect
Vaktherapie is erop gericht uw problematiek op te heffen, te verminderen of te accepteren en om terugval te voorkomen. Het gaat hierbij om uw welbevinden. Door de nieuwe ervaringen bij de diverse handelingen krijgt u meer inzicht in uzelf, de ander en de wereld om u heen.
Zo werkt u al doende aan de oplossing of acceptatie van uw probleem. Dit betekent niet dat de vaktherapeut niet met u zal praten. Dit doet hij wel. Het gaat dan over wat u denkt, voelt of doet bij de verschillende activiteiten.
Door te doen, kunt u oefenen met verschillende vaardigheden. Zo kunt u leren om op een andere manier te reageren op situaties en emoties. U kunt nieuwe mogelijkheden ontdekken en vaste patronen doorbreken. Op deze manier kunt u nieuwe kanten van uzelf ontwikkelen. Al doende leert men!
