What is
Transpersonal Art Therapy?
The transpersonal lies
beyond the person and is the path that leads to awareness and self
realisation. This place is beyond
our outmoded ways of dealing with the world, allowing us to be authentic,
finding meaning and purpose in our life.
But I can’t
draw!
Creativity is expressed through
many avenues including dreams, story, dance, drawing, collage and poetry.
Through exploring all that presents, (the central theme of this form of therapy)
wisdom of the self is revealed.
How Does
Transpersonal Work Fit with other Therapies?
Transpersonal work embraces ideas
from many other therapies including Person Centred, Jungian, Existential,
Gestalt and Humanistic. Transpersonal work is also greatly influenced by ancient
traditional cultures that honour and celebrate life transitions through story,
ritual and ceremony.
As we mature we continue to seek
out new avenues of self-discovery, forever moving towards our potential. Transpersonal art therapy has many
invaluable tools for this process.
Tools used
include:
- Person Centred
Counselling
- Meditation and guided
imagery
- Masks and Healing
Mandalas
- Dream amplification and active
imagination
- Stories, Symbols and Metaphor
Myth & Ritual
- Sand Play
Therapy
- Images with
clay
