Self Discovery & Somatic Art Therapy
Wednesdays 1:30-3:30pm - with Coco & Steph
Class Info:
10 week group led by VATI Practicum Student Coco & Steph For fall 2024, VATI student art therapists Steph and Coco invite you to join them for 10 weeks of self discovery and somatic awareness around unmasking and people-unpleasing. For the first half of the sessions, Steph will explore what masking and unmasking are, and through art-making will help you discover the ways in which you mask and how to unmask in safe situations, allowing you to feel more authentically you. For the remaining sessions, Coco will explain what people-pleasing is, how to recognize it, and why we should learn people-unpleasing. Coco will guide you through ways to set healthy boundaries through journal prompts, caring for and loving yourself through gentle somatic movement, and gaining self-awareness through art directives so we can shift our narrative to motivate action and change.
Our work takes place across greater Vancouver, on the unceded, traditional, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
