Healing Through Art: Pet Grief

Service Description

This is one of my most popular workshops, because it touches on a topic we do not explore enough as a society - pet grief. Our fur, feathery and scaly babies become apart of our family, and we need space to grieve them the same way we do humans. We don't have to do it alone and can heal within a safe and supportive community of others on the same path of healing. This two-hour session, facilitated by Therapeutic Arts Practitioner; Stephanie Chinn, offers a safe and supportive space where we can explore the many facets of our grief and begin, or continue the healing process using therapeutic art techniques. We will make a piece honoring our love for our lost baby while also processing the grief, with where we are currently at. No artistic experience is necessary—just an open heart and the willingness to create. Therapeutic arts can help us work through parts of ourselves that do not live in our mind, but reside in our subconscious -- where we can regulate our nervous systems and create long-term healing. If you are new to therapeutic arts, I encourage you to be willing to try something new to add to your tool belt, and to do so alongside a supportive community. Supplies needed: 3 sheets of blank paper, a pen, and any kind of supplies you may already have (markers, crayons, paint etc...) This workshop is virtual, NO ART EXPERIENCE NEEDED - if you cannot make the live you will be emailed a replay next day! Are you in Canada and want to pay in CAD?
