Last night I hosted the Creative Counsellors Scottish Peer circle. I’m the Scottish Ambassador and these monthly meetings are something I love to attend. Thai month we chatted about how we can explore ‘Emotions and Feelings’ creatively in the Therapy room. Turns out a lot of us use (amongst other things) various decks of cards. These are three of my favourites. These meetings give us a chance to connect, share and inspire each other. Being a counsellor can be a bit isolating, especially when I’m private practice so having a space like this can be helpful. If you are based in Scotland and would like to join let us know!! @creativecounsellors #counsellorlife #creativecounsellor #expressiveartspractitioner #emotions

I had another wonderful evening hosting The Scottish APCCA practioners monthly get together. I love bringing together people who work in similar ways. Community and connection are really important in a role with can feel quite isolating. Last night we explored what we each bring to this space. My image is below and I’d like to share some of my thoughts on it . Like always, the more I reflected on it the more I discovered. I chose a huge Galleon as the vessel I travel in, with lots of sails propelling me. I know that I’m busy at the moment and feel that my energy is low so I need those sails to capture the energy around me to help me. With that in mind I notice the ship has a room filled with pillows and I could really feel the need for self care on and a place to be comfortable, replenish and just be me and welcome other people there. There’s a room to plan and discuss, and I feel I need that space too. To creatively look at my practice and my journey as a practioner, to see both where I have been and where I’d like to go, there’s an anvil there too as a place to hone my practical skills and I notice that’s very much at the heart of the ship. The crows nest at the top is me looking out and seeing what’s around - also it’s a place that speaks to vulnerability- putting myself out there, I don’t feel that’s a comfortable place for me but it’s where I seem to be most at the moment. There’s so much to this image and as usual the more I look at - the more I can see. I’m certainly spending some time today journaling my reflections on it. I feel this image is called ‘A ship in full scary sail’ #apcca @apcca_org #expressiveartspractitioner #expressiveartscounsellor #creativecounsellor #community #therapist #counsellor #personcenteredapproach #scottishexpressiveartpractioner #scottishcounsellors

Day 5 of #30dayartchallenge of #meditativeart with the #artofphotography 😊💕 Celebrating #worldenvironmentday with a few clicks I took around our neighbourhood yesterday as a #mindfulwalking practice 😊 I felt deeply connected during and after the exercise. Edited these in Inshot today, so adding them as today's post, and yes, editing is meditative too 💕😊 Anything done in flow is meditation, anything with the purpose of meditation is meditative. Do you find photography meditative? Share in comments! Have a great week Sunshine's!

Sometimes I feel compartmentalized, unable to merge the different parts of myself into one beautiful whole. Expressive arts helps me lower some of the walls that separate my selves. It allows me to be vulnerable but to also feel safe. The vulnerability, the messages, the guidance, they show up in the art. While the process of making the art is healing in and of itself, there is even more information to be had from creating a dialogue with the piece. Sometimes in my rush to build a business, be a mother, take care of my home and our four animals, I forget to take care of me. And then things get sticky. The walls go up. I forget that I am a whole glorious, messy, imperfect, beautiful person. The art takes me back to that whole person. Art helps. Art heals. Art is for everyone. #expressiveartsnyc #expressivearts #artinthepark #creativeexpression #expressiveartspractitioner #arthelps #artheals #beautifullyimperfect #wholeperson #selfcare #selfcarenyc #makeart #compartmentalized #iamgrowing #localbusiness #localbusinessnyc #nyc #iloveny #ilovenyc #ilovemyself #heal #creativelife #creativeliving #creativepractice #artpractice
I'll be honest. I wasn't very happy with myself today for some reason. So for today's Day2 of my self initiated #30dayartchallenge , I chose my sketchbook because I thought it would be best for a good healthy way to release the energy and then think with clarity about the whole thing. I chose colour pencils because I allowed the heaviness of energy to translate into the pressure needed to work with colour pencils. It felt good. The quote came in flow. That felt even better. Clarity came. I said to myself, at least you're someone who likes to self reflect and work on improving yourself! I felt a surge of appreciation for myself and the event. I said to myself I'll do better next time. Thank you for reading today's story of mine 😊 Please keep supporting me on my #30daychallenge Sketchbook from Buddha Crafts Colour pencils from Brustro Colour pens from Artline Much love.

Colours coming up your feed!!! This one had me go in flashback to the days when I used to wonder - "I can sit and make these all day everyday. Will the society accept me?" 😂😂 Thankfully I'm done with that phase! So here's the thing. Imposter syndrome is a common trait. It doesn't allow us to be who we are. It's the nature of the mind to chatter. There will always be the inner critic. If you give weightage to it, you will always be stuck. Point is - every time you become aware and still go ahead and be vulnerable, you win. You heal not by avoidance, but with consciousness. You heal with your heart. Let your soul guide you to be your most authentic self. Expressive Art is a great way to deal with imposter syndrome and the feeling of "not being good enough" not just as a creative, but its positive impact extends to how you show up in other areas of your life as well - such as at your workplace and in your relationships.

👋 Hello, Instagram fam!🌈 I'm thrilled to share this exciting chapter of my life with you all as I embark on a journey as a Counselling Psychologist and Expressive Arts Practitioner. Allow me to introduce myself and the passion that drives me. 🌈💼 🔬 Academically, I've dedicated years to studying the intricate workings of the human mind and emotions. . This multidisciplinary field has equipped me with a deep understanding of the human psyche, providing me with invaluable tools to support individuals facing life's challenges. I believe in the power of compassionate listening, empathy, and personalized guidance to help people navigate their unique journeys towards healing and self-discovery. 🧠💛 🎨 In addition to my expertise in psychology, I am also an expressive arts practitioner. Art, in all its forms, is an incredible medium for self-expression and growth. By incorporating various creative outlets, such as painting, music, movement, and drama, I aim to empower individuals to explore their emotions, find their voice, and discover new ways of understanding themselves and their experiences. The fusion of psychology and expressive arts allows me to offer a holistic and unique approach to healing and personal development. 🎭🖌️ 🌟 My Instagram page will be a space for inspiration, education, and support. Here, I'll be sharing tips, techniques, and insights from the world of counselling psychology and expressive arts. From practical self-care strategies to thought-provoking discussions, my aim is to cultivate a community that values emotional well-being, self-growth, and creativity. ☘️🍃 #CounsellingPsychologist #ExpressiveArtsPractitioner #GraduationJourney #MentalWellbeing #SelfDiscovery #Creativity #EmotionalHealing #HolisticApproach #ArtTherapy #SelfCare #Inspiration

Sometimes, it is ok to just be quiet and let your Art do the talking. Not because you are sad, angry, or too overwhelmed with joy, or maybe you are any of these, I wouldn't know. All I'm saying is why do you keep searching for a "because" to make Art? When will you start allowing yourself to create, just for the sake of creating? Stop being so much in your mind, and get into your heart. Start with Art. Because even though you don't really think you are, everyone, including you, is an artist.

Here's a reminder for those who need to hear. You don't need permission from outside to be who you are. The more you look for validation, the lesser authentic your life will feel, the lesser well-being you'll experience, the lesser authentic connections you will end up making. Set yourself free. Make a conscious choice to respect who you are just as you so naturally respect others. Take responsibility for living true to yourself. Replace the idea of chasing validation, and choose to Be ❤ Having trouble being your authentic self? Are you perennially worried or anxious of what people think of you? DM "FREEDOM" to book a coaching session. I help women on their path of healing and wellbeing in order to live true to themselves with joy, passion, awareness and confidence through the process of self exploration with ExpressiveArts. It is not necessary to be good at art for joining my creative healing sessions 😊 Follow @kreativi_tee for all things artsy & creative and to stay inspired in your journey of authentic self expression, happiness, peace and well-being.

She, just a while ago... A flaming orange-ish red ❤ Here's your message to let it be. Whatever it is, if it's not coming naturally from your heart, the answer is a no. Don't overthink what your soul already knows, it will not get you anywhere ❤ If you can, look at the moon from wherever you are now, place your hands on your heart. And breathe. In the stillness, feel the freedom. Listen. Does your heart have a message for you? If you're anywhere where it is daytime now, that's ok. This click should help.

Your inner child doesn't need to be controlled. She doesn't need to be suppressed. She needs to be expressed. All she wants from you is to be seen. Much of the unrest in the world outside of us today is because many of us have abandoned our inner child. We have forgotten that the heaviness we project outside of us is because we have stored insecurities inside of us. Imagine how scared an abandoned child looks like? That's the face of everyone who has lost touch with their inner child. Let's ask ourselves - Do we want a world with wars? Don't we want authentic connections? Do we want a world without Nature? Do we want a world of lack? That's what we're creating. What can you do, you ask? The answer lies within your heart. Please ask yourself - Where am I at war with myself? What do I fear? Where am I insecure? See yourself as this child. What does she say? Please give her what she needs most - your own attention. Let her express herself to you. Hear her out. Be her best friend. Earn her trust. Tell her she is safe with you, will always be. Allow her to play. Keep telling her she is loved beyond measure. I don't recall how many times I came back to completing this. Four, maybe? And I loved it. I wouldn't stop!! I allowed myself to play till my hearts content. It's done. She is happy with how it turned out to be 😊❤💕 My happy inner child 😍 Mixed media - Markers, pencils, sketch pens Sketchbook from Brustro.

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!! Hope you're all doing well!

How do you release your stress? Stress painting is a great way to free yourself of any mental stress and be more in the present moment. To stress paint, choose colors that represent your stress and scribble and paint your problems! This type of therapeutic painting is not about creating something "beautiful." Instead, it is about expressing our feelings in a safe and healthy way and giving ourselves some space to see our stress outside of ourselves. Externalizing our stress or emotions often provides insights into our feelings and enables us to see challenges in new ways. This approach to making art is more about the process than the final product. What is essential to remember in this type of painting is to be open and not to judge. If judgments come up, observe them but do not react to them. After creating your stress painting, ask yourself some open-ended questions such as: - What title would you give your art? - How does this art relate to your life right now? - If your artwork could speak, what would it say? Another approach to dealing with stress artfully would be to draw or paint the stress you feel in your body. You can do this by drawing an outline of your body and then drawing the stress that you sense in your body. Consider the size, shape, and colors of this stress and where it is in your body. Some questions to reflect on in addition to the ones above would be: - Where in the body did you identify your stress? - What are some ways you could alleviate or remove this stress? - What is my art telling me? Art is a pathway to greater mental and emotional health. These art therapy activities allow us to observe and feel our feelings without being overwhelmed by them. As Pablo Picasso once said, "Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." Will you try one of these exercises? Have you ever experimented with similar types of art therapy activities?

In 1997 Rob took part in a workshop style production of the first act of 'Korczak' written and directed by Nick Stimson and Chris Williams and performed at the @theatreroyalplymouth Drum Theatre - the same piece of musical theatre Rob went onto produce and direct with the Plough Youth Theatre @plougharts in 2004/05 which he also took to @assitejofficial Festival in Poland. Here he is with the pair almost twenty five years later at yesterday's fabulous and awe inspiring Mayflower 400 Community Choir Showcase at the Plymouth Guildhall where the Southwest Philharmonia & Chorus directed by @marcus_alleyne_official and the Royal Marine Band Plymouth under the baton of Captain Pete Wolfenden performed their latest collaborative work which was originally planned to be part of an enormous production on Plymouth Hoe with a choir of a thousand voices but was unfortunately scuppered by COVID. Rob was absolutely delighted and privileged to catch this very special presentation and of course briefly catch up with the writer and composer afterwards. #nickstimson #writer #chriswilliams #composer #southwestphilharmoniaandchorus #marcusalleyne #royalmarineband #captainpetewolfenden #mayflower400 #communitychoir #mayflower400communitychoir #plymouthguildhall #plymouth #1620 #pilgrimfathers #communitychoirshowcase #plymouthcitycouncil #mayflower #music #songs #poetry #words #robpudner #expressiveartspractitioner #familyentertainer #expressiveartsforall #entertainmentforall #aftershowselfie #beards #naturalgreyhighlights
It's Throwback Thursday and today we are only looking back as far as yesterday when Rob Pudner was joined by @jim.causley for an afternoon of music, merriment and mirth @mountbattencentre for Plymouth based charity @friendsandfamilies rescheduled Mayflower 400 celebration originally planned for last year. In the guise of a pair of Mariners the @entertaininglydifferent duo provided a range of interactive sensory entertainment which was enjoyed by young and old alike including the Lord Mayor of Plymouth. #entertaininglydifferent #expessiveartsforall #entertainmentforall #familyfriendlyfun #sensoryentertainment #interactiveentertainment #mariners #robpudner #expressiveartspractitioner #familyentertainer #mc #walkaboutentertainment #characterwork #jimcausley #folksinger #singer #writer #musician #mountbatten #plymouth #friendsandfamiliesofspecialchildren #sen #mayflower400 #accordion #dressedfortheoccasion #dressedthepart #freelancefun #selfemployedlife #throwbackthursday #tbt🔙📸 Photo credit: @_dccarter

It's Throwback Thursday and here's a little gem taken in 2011 @dartmoorfolkfestival where a rather fresh faced Rob Pudner and Hanky Mouse delighted young and old alike with their @entertaininglydifferent interactive antics. Rob has been the Director of the Children's Festival for a number of years now programming a whole weekend of performances, workshops and activities for the younger visitors to this special annual event held in South Zeal near Okehampton at the beginning of August including the ever popular 'Rise and Shine' each morning which is enjoyed by many adults of the accompanying adults too! #entertaininglydifferent #entertainmentforall #expessiveartsforall #familyentertainment #familyfun #familyfriendlyfun #familyentertainer #workshopleader #expressiveartspractitioner #interactiveentertainment #festivalentertainment #festivalfun #festival #familyfestival #dartmoorfolkfestival #festivalthrowback #robpudner #hankymouse #puppets #mousepuppet #cleanshaven #tbt #tbthursday #tbt🔙📸 #tbt❤️ #throwbackthursday #10yearsago #2011 #freelancefun #selfemployedlife

I am just so grateful for art and dance/movement in my life. Before painting I started this morning off with a little free movement/dance session inspired by @bernadette_pleasant 🙏🏽💞.

Watching and making art with my kiddo fills my heart right up. Uggh, I love it!! I believe deeply that having a (or many) creative outlet is so important as a way of expressing self and navigating this wild world we live in. And so beautiful to witness him really sink into his own art making…and then I get to actually sink into mine 😂💗🙏🏽 #art #artmatters #heartmatters #heartwork #makeartnotwar #love #makersgottamake #shepaintstoo #makeartnotwar #solstice #artasmedicine #artistofinstagram #artwork #dailyart #womenartists #womenwhopaint #womenartistsofinstagram #abstract #abstractartist #womanartist #expressivearts #expressiveartspractitioner #canadianartist #canadianart #artforsalebyartist #artforsale #bcartists #bcartist #bcart #goldenbc #heatherbarrett

I started the earlier part of my day, (after getting my kiddo to school, taking Oso dog for a bike ride, and getting dinner prepped) sitting outside in meditation noticing the details on the leaf of plant as the sun shone through it. I love how slowing down enough to notice the small details in nature felt like an act of self care for me and for the earth. Listening in and opening my awareness to what was around me, really seeing that plant, I believe is a small act of reciprocity. Now I’m enjoying the rest of the beautiful morning working on this piece, which I think I’m calling Solstice Blessings, and was inspired to send Sending Solstice blessings out to everyone. Happy Solstice ☀️🌱🌸🧡 *********************************** #art #artmatters #heartmatters #heartwork #makeartnotwar #love #joy #shepaintstoo #makeartnotwar #artasmedicine #artistofinstagram #artwork #dailyart #womenartists #womenartistsofinstagram #abstract #abstractartist #womanartist #expressivearts #expressiveartspractitioner #canadianartist #canadianart #artforsalebyartist #artforsale #bcartists #bcartist #bcart #goldenbc #goldenbcartist #heatherbarrett

This is a painting I made years ago when my dad was alive and living with LBD. Makes me think of the journey he was on, and the journey we were on together.

Her face just appeared in the center of this wildness, the middle of this art piece. I feel like she’s saying “it’s all good. We can just go with the river”. I’m not sure if she’ll stay however I’m thankful that she showed up and shared her wisdom. *********************************** #art #artmatters #heartmatters #heartwork #makeartnotwar #love #joy #shepaintstoo #makeartnotwar #artasmedicine #artistofinstagram #artwork #dailyart #womenartists #womenartistsofinstagram #abstract #abstractartist #womanartist #expressivearts #expressiveartspractitioner #canadianartist #canadianart #artforsalebyartist #artforsale #bcartists #bcartist #bcart #goldenbc #goldenbcartist #heatherbarrett

One of my biggest tips on embracing creativity and bringing art into your life: ✨ Approach the world with a sense of curiosity! Release expectation and be playful. Ways to practice this? ❄️ Photograph objects from different angles and distances as a way to get to know their shape and texture ❄️ Spread paint on a canvas with no goal, just playing with colour ❄️ Dance! Don't think about what it looks like, maybe even close your eyes and allow your intuition and body to guide you, no need for choreography 🌸 Curiosity is key 🌸
Goddess . Help me awaken the Goddess within Where she slumbered too many years, Untill the lightening strikes within my chest again And thunder rolls with every word I say. I call upon the waters rushing through my veins And I storm the winds of my soul. Help me pull wisdom from my past pains To heal those in fragments to become whole. . . #divinefeminine #divinefemininity #goddess #shakti #feminieshakti #durga #sacredshakticircle #mysa #comingsoon #upcomingworkshops #womansday #celebratethewomaninyou #expressiveartstherapy #expressiveartspractitioner #artheals #powerofart #shaktiofarts #artshakti #divinegoddess #awakenthedivine #awakenthefemininegoddess #energy #energywork #expressthroughart
A post I've been meaning to make for a while now. This past year has been pretty crazy but this is one of many cool things to have come out of it. I completed a graduate certificate in Expressive Arts as a healing practice - using many modalities such as movement, music, visual arts, writing, etc. as pathways to the Self and creative liberation in a trauma-informed manner. Each day I am reminded again and again of the healing powers of expression. I'm noticing it's affects informing my personal art practice, yoga & meditation guidance, and my overall sense of being. Excited to continue sharing this journey with you all. 💛✨🗝️
❔ Why is creative expression important? ❔ How can it help me if I'm not an "artist" by trade? ❔ Why should I spend my time on this? These are super valid questions I get all the time, and here are a few reasons why I encourage you to start experimenting with creative expression, be that through painting, drawing, scribbling, moving, singing, you name it. I would also like to note that these benefits will not be present every single time we are in creative process. Create without a goal. Express for the sake of expression. You cannot learn creativity. Creativity is innate. You CAN give yourself permission to create 💛
Meditation as a seed for creativity ✨🗝️ My first conscious meditation experience was back in 2015 when a group of friends and I were hanging out and one of them suggested we listen to a guided visualization on YouTube just for fun. After it was over, we all talked about our meditation and I realized that even though we were in the same room listening to the same recording we all had vastly unique experiences. Guided meditations like this offer us keys to different doors of inspiration within ourself. They can offer insight to desires, needs, and formless ideas that are ready to be expressed, and to be expressed by you! If you feel like you want to live more creatively, more true to yourself, if you feel a lack of inspiration, or want to bring more self-awareness into your life, I will be leading a workshop at @nameless.tbay Monday Nov 30 from 6-8pm "meditation as a seed for creativity" ✨🗝️ We will move through a variety of guided meditations to help you access personal inspiration from the well of your own inner wisdom 💛 Link in bio for tickets!
"this doesn't look good" "why do you think you can make it as an artist?" "Sure you'll make one good painting, but that's it" "Don't try this new hobby, you know it won't work out and you'll just feel like shit" Do these statements sound a bit familiar? That's the inner critic, or as one of my teachers calls it, the asshole who lives upstairs. Tomorrow I'm leading a workshop "For the Inner Critic" at @nameless.tbay (Nov. 16) from 6-8pm. We will work to recognize the inner critic's voice and learn to separate it from truth. These statements may never go away, but we can develop the tools to know their difference from reality. Link in bio to register ✨🗝️
spent the majority of yesterday editing product photos and stocking my Etsy shop!! It will be up just in time for all your Christmas gift needs ✨🌸 so much love and intention has been woven into the making of these products I'm so excited to share them with you! Launch date will be announced in the next day or two. Also, anyone else find you are WAY more productive while doing work at a coffee shop? ☕✨🗝️
Monday's "Releasing Perfectionism" workshop was so insightful ✨ We worked to drop expectation, surrender ourselves to the present moment, and find joy and insight in the process. To view these works not as a final product but rather a documentation of an experience releases so much pressure that is put on through our own doing. Allowing ourselves to create ugly art gets us creating and in order to do something well (art or not) we must first be willing to do it badly. 💡if you missed this workshop, no worries, November 16 I will be hosting another "for the inner critic". Stay tuned for updates!
