Community

This approach to art making draws on the healing and transformative power of art and encourages personal expression, self-acceptance, the acceptance of others, inner growth, understanding, release from trauma and a greater sense of well-being.

A Healing Art which draws on the transformative power of artmaking for health and well-being

The ASTAR approach to artmaking is non-judgemental and process-orientated, engaging the “don’t think mind” to find intuitive solutions. Participants are invited to work spontaneously without any planned outcomes or expectations, to trust the creative process and to honour all that is made with acceptance. Experimentation with a wide variety of art materials, found objects and natural materials is encouraged and while the entry point is not technical, many art skills and techniques are learnt along the way. The process can be light and playful, or meditative, or deeply moving and powerful. In today’s stressful world, a non-judgemental creative space is a sanctuary for free expression, self-reflection and restoration. For all of us, rediscovering and honouring the creative self is essential in our journey towards wholeness.

Creative process Workshops & Courses

Creative process workshops and courses draw on the transformative power of art-making to awaken you to your true nature and inner wisdom. Tap into and explore your unique, creative self in a peaceful, non-judgemental environment away from the disturbances of the outside world.

The spontaneous, imaginative and intuitive way of creating encourages seeing and expressing from the heart. A conversation with the art piece arises which can reveal surprising insights.

Themes and inspiration exercises are specifically designed to bypass the critical analytical mind, and to help lose the fear of art-making. Specific themes are explored in each workshop honouring each individual’s unique expression and process. Courses include a range of inspirational exercises, visualisations, art-making processes, and reflections. Although the focus is on the process, many exciting art techniques and skills are gained along the way. A variety of art materials are explored in each course. No previous art experience needed. Advanced artists welcome.

Custom Designed Creative Process Workshops

Workshops and events can be custom designed to fit your specific requirements. The On-Site Workshop can be conducted in an independent format (stand-alone basis) or in an integrated format (as part of a broader business program, event or conference).
