“I found the creative art class hugely enjoyable. It helped me to verbalise my emotions and brought me much relief and contentment.... The facilitator [Pauline] was fantastic” J. Cotter 

An image speaks a thousand words. In this introductory workshop participants will be provided with a brief history of the development and use of art as a therapeutic medium and an introduction to the links between creative expression and personal development. Within a non-judgemental climate of safety and acceptance, the introduction will be followed by the opportunity to explore creative expression through working with art materials, images and symbols. Art has the potential to change our lives often revealing aspects of ourselves that we may be unaware of or lost touch with.

The workshop is open to anyone interested in gaining a personal understanding of the benefits of creative expression as part of personal development and the therapeutic process. No expertise or previous experience is necessary.

Stress Awareness & Management

Friday 30th April | Hotel Isaacs, Store Street, Dublin 1  | 14:30 - 17:30 | €60

Stress damages people and it damages their relationships both at home and in organisations. Medical treatment may help some individuals to manage their symptoms in the short term, but they need to address the factors that caused their stress in the first place. That involves finding the source and taking appropriate action. This workshop demonstrates the best way to provide a lasting solution is identify and manage the causes of stress as well as its effects by adopting a systematic, structured approach and offers a simple clear process based on small steps for sustainable change.
