Two Facilitators

This course is designed for two facilitators. The two of you are providing so much more than the usual support group! As a team, you can facilitate sessions for 8 to 10 adults, one facilitator to deliver the therapeutic content and the other to deliver artistic instruction and promote the creative process in 12, two-hour sessions. No art experience necessary.

  • Directions for non-verbal journaling
  • A one-of-a-kind Model of Wellness mandala
  • 12 useful wellness prescriptions
  • Specific therapeutic intention for each session
  • Instructions for engaging, symbolic, easy to make artwork

This straight-forward program raises the awareness of the power of choice. Participants are given the opportunity to recognize the power of their actions, how this power has brought us where we are today, and where we can go on from here.

There is no stronger reinforcer than verbal and nonverbal learning combined. The lessons have a lasting effect when negative and defeating self-talk can be reframed through flexible ways of thinking followed by a personal visual expression of this new thinking.
