The Art of Connection: An Art Therapy Workshop

Explore the power of connection through art at Vizcaya Village Garage on Thursday, December 19. Part of the Thoughtful Thursday series, this interactive workshop is designed to encourage reflection and creativity, guiding participants to explore the significance of names and personal stories in building meaningful relationships with ourselves and others.

Led by art therapist Dr. Patricia Isis, the session begins with warm-up activities that focus on personal strengths, fostering a sense of community and belonging. Participants will then engage in storytelling, sharing the stories behind their names to cultivate compassion and curiosity. The session includes a hands-on activity where each person creates an aluminum foil sculpture symbolizing their best self and values, contributing to a collective display that represents interconnectedness.

Through group reflection and guided exercises, participants will discover practical ways to incorporate these insights into their daily lives. Potential benefits of the workshop include enhanced self-awareness, stronger connections, creative self-expression and community engagement.

Dr. Patricia Isis brings over 40 years of experience in art therapy and expressive therapies, offering a supportive space for creative exploration and personal growth.
