Service Description

Join Susanna and Naomi for a guided art bE+ gathering! Designed for anyone having experienced spiritual abuse or any painful life transition. Through two gentle and engaging creative exercises—Scribble Into a Drawing and the Bridge Drawing—participants will explore internal themes of identity, transition, and resilience in a safe, supportive space. We’ll begin with a playful warm-up inviting unconscious thoughts and feelings to surface through spontaneous mark-making. From there, we’ll move into the Bridge Drawing: a symbolic and powerful activity that helps us visualize where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re heading. No artistic experience is needed—just a willingness to explore. You will NOT have to share your images! 🖌️ Materials Needed: 2 - 18x24” heavy-weight drawing papers (or similar – feel free to make what you have work!) Your medium of choice, such as Oil pastels, Colored pencils, or Acrylic paint, brush, and cup of water A pencil 💬 Includes group reflection prompts and optional sharing time We're looking forward to an opportunity to process in a tangible way using techniques Susanna and Naomi know and love.
