During this evening you will be led through a fun activity resulting in an artwork and deeper sense of wellbeing.

February 12 with Ali Burke

In this interactive arts-based workshop participants will have an opportunity to create their own 'tree of life'.  Through art and writing, you will explore themes of identity, personal and cultural history, skills and strengths, gifts, and hopes for the future.
The tree of life concept has been developed by practitioners of Narrative Therapy and is used around the world to support individuals and communities to step into a 'riverbank' perspective to see themselves and their experiences differently.

Ali Burke is a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with over 14 years experience, she currently has a private practice in Cambridge, Ontario. Her work is grounded in the theories of Narrative Therapy, which sees people as having many skills, competencies, beliefs, values, commitments and abilities that will assist them to change their relationship with problems in their lives. She integrates mindfulness, cognitive behavioural therapy, and emotion-focused therapy into her work.
