Yoga and Art Therapy
On Saturday 1st of April we had our activity in the Multicultural Center. Due to the fact that it was National Day for Cyprus we didnt had a lot of participants but this made us to be more carefull about that and to continue our work in In our third workshop,we had the opportunity to experience the transformative power of arts.We start with body movement,we let our bodies to move freely based on our emotions and then in pairs of two with the help of scarfs we had a non verbal «conversation».
Later on,we let our bodies to feel the texture of different papers and cardons,to play with them,to tear them but without a purpose to use them as materials.The aim it was to let our feelings be present on the moment.
Our last activity was to «draw» with our fingertips and blindfolded,our portrait,as we feel to.At the end, participants shared their experience and their feelings about this process.We explained that aim wasn't to create a beautiful art but to expressed our thoughts, feelings and emotions by leaving ourselves free and connecting with our creativity.
