Introduction to Art therapy for Wellness with Elio Haddad

‍
Fun expression for a lighter self
Art therapy is not an art class although the sessions can be enjoyable and educational. The focus is not on
the aesthetics of the art created, but rather on the whole process of expressing.
While attending art therapy workshops, you develop self-awareness and healthy strategies to deal with
personal challenges. Art therapy relies on self-expression to awaken your own problem-solving capacities,
and guided by Elio Haddad, the creative process can be insightful and therapeutic.
When you attend the workshop, you will feel comfortable to embrace the creative process releasing tension
and anxiety, and at the same time generating insights and resources to overcome challenges.
