Mindfulness Based Creativity for Stress Reduction

Mindfulness Based Creativity for Stress Reduction

Online 10 Week Course

Registration is through Douglas Community School's Adult Education Office. TEL: 021 429 4208

Mindfulness provides us with ways to manage our thoughts and our emotions. This is what makes the practice such an excellent way to weather stressful times in our lives. 

This course teaches mindfulness meditation techniques which are practiced in traditional seated and walking practices but also which are encouraged for use during a variety of guided creative practices. The combination of both mindfulness and creative expression working together can help to calm the mind and body and offers a means to return to and accept the present moment. It can also be used as a helpful way to manage chronic stress, exam stress and sleeping difficulties. In essence this course provides an opportunity for self-care.

No experience of art making is required as the focus is placed on how you feel as you make the art as opposed to the final product.

We look forward to answering any questions that you might have regarding the content of the course.

Bookings are being taken by Douglas Community School's Adult Education Department.

Testimonials

  • Art Therapy

    Colette, Cork

    My son has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis. As a result, his treatment involves fortnightly injections and frequent blood tests. He absolutely hated the injections. Thankfully Art Therapy reversed this… he thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to communicate his fears and anxieties, frustrations, pain and emotions. He literally flourished at Art Therapy and on leaving the hospital one day he said he felt like he was “walking on air”. As a parent of a sick child this quite literally brought tears to my eyes. For the most part we are now “hassle” free. Art Therapy will be a vital part of my son’s treatment going forward to promote his positive mental health.

    Roisin was an extremely pleasant therapist and my daughter Anna felt very comfortable spending time in Art Therapy. The appointments were always on time and Roisin explained everything very clearly to myself and my daughter. All in all Art Therapy was a positive experience.
