In this experiential two-part workshop series, caregivers are invited to gently reconnect with their inner world through movement and the expressive arts. We’ll use simple embodied practices to explore what is present within us—the emotions, images, sensations, and stories that shape our caregiving experience.
In the first workshop, participants will be guided through a movement exploration, allowing different parts of the body to express themselves creatively. This exploration will then inspire a self-portrait through drawing and brief writing, offering an opportunity to reflect on how we see and experience ourselves in our caregiving role.
In the second workshop, we’ll return to these self-portraits as a starting point for further movement explorations and deeper creative reflection. Together, we’ll explore how we perceive ourselves as caregivers, where we are in our journey, and what may be emerging within us.
No art or movement experience is required—only curiosity and openness. This workshop offers a creative space for self-awareness, expression, renewal, and connection. Participants must commit to attending both workshops.
Informed by the Life/Art Process®, this approach explores the body’s wisdom through movement, imagination, and creative expression. The workshops are facilitated by Sarah Varichon, a certified movement-based expressive arts therapy practitioner trained at the Tamalpa Institute in California.
