Creative Cocoon
‘Life is something endlessly in the process of becoming something else.’
(Richard Holloway)
As an adoptive parent, you will know that life is a juggling act, and that things rarely stay the same for long. As we move out of the summer, and into the autumn once more, this is your opportunity to cocoon; to take a step back from daily routines and the din of family life.
Over four consecutive Tuesday evenings in October, we will meet as a small group, and use the medium of art materials to express our family ‘landscapes,’ needs for balance, boundaries and transformation. Creativity is normally birthed out of chaos, and so the only prerequisite for joining this group is your family’s own unique blend of imperfection. In our ‘creative cocoon’ we will consider the humble butterfly and what it can teach us about being still, journeying through mess, and surrendering to new beginnings.
The group will be led by Julie Mehaffy, Art Psychotherapist. Julie has a love for the metaphors found in nature, and views all creativity as a form of self-expression. There is no need for artistic skill in joining this group, but simply a desire to play around with colours and textures whilst keeping in mind the needs of your wee family.
Dates: 1st, 8th, 15th and 22nd October 2024
Venue: Family Routes Office, Unit 2, 18 Heron Road, BT3 9LE
Time: 7.00-8.30pm
**Although a ‘group,’ this is an opportunity primarily for self-reflection and so there will be no pressure to share stories or struggles with others unless you choose to do so.
