WHAT IS ART2ESSENCE?
ART2ESSENCE is the name of our unique non-clinical Art Therapy program offerings. It represents the process through which art connects us with our true essence; the being that we truly are. Whether we are struggling with addictions, or wish to become a facilitator to assist those who are, we are all in our own ways, struggling. We can use the restorative powers of the creative process in our lives (and later, in the lives of others) to address shadows and bring the light to the truth of our beingness – our essence.
Unlock Your Creativity
Creativity is therapeutic. Studies show that expressing our emotions through art can help us address our past hurts, as well as build a beautiful foundation for our future, going forward.
Rewire Thoughts & Habits
Changing old habits and thought patterns only happens when we replace them with new ones. Our program is designed to help you let go of what no longer serves you, empowering you with new ways of being.
Relax Your System
The flow state that is achieved through artistic pursuits has been shown to be healthy in relaxing our nervous system. A relaxed nervous system is where healing happens!
