Explore Loving & Being Loved Through Creative Expression

Love is both an art and a journey—a path to deeper self-awareness, connection, and healing. The Art of Love is a supportive art therapy group designed for women who want to explore through the power of creativity what it means to heal from trauma, leading to the capacity to give and receive love.

In this nurturing space, we will use artistic expression to:

🎨 Deepen self-awareness—Uncover your unique patterns in love and relationships.
🖌️ Explore emotions and experiences—Express what words alone cannot.
🧡 Connect with others—Share, witness, and support one another in a safe, non-judgmental community.
🌱 Cultivate self-compassion—Embrace yourself with kindness and care.

No art experience is needed. Whether you paint, collage, or simply explore colors and textures, every creative act is a step toward greater self-understanding.

Who Is This For?

If you’re a woman who has experienced trauma, loss, grief, or emotional pain, this group is for you. Whether you’re just starting to process your story or have been on this path for years, we are here to support your journey.
