New Expressive Art Workshops 2017
Next workshops information link here
Atlantic Center for The Arts Harris House Gallery in New Smyrna Beach, Fl.
A more detailed explanation of my next workshop can be found on my juicy tidbits blog
Welcome!
Here you will find creative art and wellness workshops that you can attend with no experience necessary!
As a 20 year teaching artist with a masters degree in art therapy, Laura Bohn combines arts and wellness in workshops and classes.
Learning to express our own stories through the arts is innately healing. These workshops focus on mindfulness in creating in the moment for joy, and self expression. Making room for a expressive arts practice in your life is the goal here. Whether you paint, write, dance, or sing, combining art and wellness can give your life authentic expression. Authentic creative expression is a way to tell your story.
We try to have fun because through laughter blooms the soul!

I have been partnering with Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA) to bring free or low cost arts and wellness programming to the community.
So far I have facilitated intuitive painting and movement classes and expressive art journaling workshops. Through the ACA I have trained with Gary Glazner and the creative care guide with the National Center for Creative Aging to bring relief to caregivers of those with Alzheimers and other cognitive disorders.

SPIRIT DOLL/ Therapeutic ART DOLL WORKSHOPS
Spirit Doll/Healing Art Doll Workshop
In these workshops
- Through the process of using fabric scraps, sticks, shells, clay, beads, and other materials,
- we will all create a spirit doll, wise woman, goddess, heroine, tree woman, moon goddess, mother nature, or any other character.
- Your story begins with the creation of this character.
- Feel free to create up to two characters.
- By playing with materials, the process begins to build as you follow it.
- This workshop is inspired by Maureen Murdock's text The Heroine's Journey, Carl Jung's use of universal archetypes, as well as Dr. Clarissa Pinkole Estes' text Woman Who Run with Wolves.
- Materials are included but you are encouraged to bring old bits of jewelry, charms, fabric or natural materials you would like to use as it will make it more personal.
- The materials you are attracted to in the moment will speak to you and guide you through this process.
- This class is finished but stay tuned for future updates.
- If you would like to read more about this past workshop click the blog link below.

Disclaimer:n Although therapeutic and the facilitator is an art therapist, this DOES NOT CONSTITUTE art therapy. Art therapy is a separate and distinct field of practice. The format, the structure, and frequency of the art and wellness workshops make it clear that the leaders are acting as facilitators of the creative process.
