Art and Wellness

With Ali Burke

Enjoy a creative evening in the Gallery Studio with a focus on improving mental health.

The Membership of Life practice has it’s origins in Narrative Therapy and invites us to consider our personal community. 

Using art and writing, participants will be invited to reflect on who they feel are important ‘members’ of their life.  Using metaphors, such as a club, a team, or a garden, participants will be guided to explore membership in their lives.  We will explore how important members are not always still with us, and might not even be human, but may have a significant impact on how we understand ourselves and the world.   The process will involve exploration of themes such as hope, choice, accomplishment, goals, loss, community, and belonging.
