The inner child is a childlike aspect within our unconscious mind. It is the child we all once were. For many of us, our childlike self did have have his/her needs met and might have been forced to suppress emotions.

Accessing our inner child is the source of our vitality and creativity. Developing a relationship with your inner child can be helpful in healing emotional problems that result from not honouring this part of ourselves in our adult lives.

This workshop will give you an opportunity to reflect back on the child you once were and provide them with all that yo wish you had received.

If you had a complicated childhood, or simply want to explore inner child work, this workshop is for you.

You will need:

Pen, paper, art supplies (pastels, watercolor paints, or crayons), glue and a printed picture of yourself.

Art Therapy is all about freedom of expression and letting go of the need to be perfect. You do not need to be an artist to participate, everyone is welcome!
