Spring Up Art Therapy Workshop
ECHO is launching a new series of interactive online workshops as part of the ECHO Happiness Hub, focusing on wellbeing, creativity, learning and self-care.
Each 30 minute session will be led by a creative professional encouraging you and your families to enjoy a new experience – join to take part for some relaxation and to learn skills in origami making, drawing and the art of listening and sound!
These workshops are hosted in partnership with our friends at the Centre for Medical Engineering at King’s College London and later in the series we will be joined by some scientists to hear about their work.
All workshops will be streamed live on ECHO’s Facebook and YouTube, so you will not need to switch on your own camera at any time. You are welcome to interact during live sessions by using the chat feature to write any questions or feedback. All sessions will be available to watch any time after the livestream.
Event dates: 19 Jan, 26 Jan, 2 Feb, 9 Feb, 16 Feb, 23 Feb, 2 March, 9 March, 16 March, 23 March, 30 March, 6 April 2021
Time: 2.00-2.30pm
Where: Live and on catch-up on Facebook and YouTube
Workshop 5: Spring Up with Liz – Art Therapy with Nature
Let’s go on a growing journey, and let nature lead the way. Using the champion of spring, the daffodil, we will depart into a world where we notice things worth noticing. Using our breathing, words and pictures, we will share music, colour, visualisation and the power of small beginnings together to find energy and joy. This workshop will be easy, joyful, moving and will strengthen you to engage with and share the wonderful resources from your natural surroundings whenever you need to.
Liz Hall is an art therapist and practising fine artist with many years of experience in a wide range of contexts both in the UK and abroad. She also delivers projects within community practice and teaching, combining creative and therapeutic activities which promote mental health and well being.
Materials required? All you need is paper and coloured pencils!
