25.01.2022 Hello friends. It's an anxious old time at the moment, so here's me and Wally explaining (as best we can) what's happening in our heads xx Do give it a share if you think it might help

24.01.2022 Annie has recently joined our psychiatry inpatient team as an art therapist. Her role is to help patients find a way to communicate when they are struggling to ...put their feelings into words. I've seen severely depressed people choosing bright colours because that's what they needed, a middle-aged man cover the page in water for all the tears he had locked up, and withdrawn people with such low self-esteem using glitter and collage to shout on their page what they want," Annie said. To put it simply - art doesn’t judge us. However, it can listen and communicate back to us what we may need to see". Annie said art therapy is an excellent way to teach problem-solving skills, self-awareness, mindfulness and socialise more.

22.01.2022 I love seasons so when they are changing I always take it as a great opportunity to take into my reconnecting art therapy workshops. Collecting with patients natural materials and using them for mindfulness exercises and art making. These reflections often come up... Every season has a purpose, what will the new winds bring for you? Winter can be a difficult one for many, how will you make sure you look after yourself. . . #artpsychotherapy #arttherapy #seasons #artpsychotherapyworkshop @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

22.01.2022 Me and a few girls got together a few years ago and started @goodmoonrising_festival . We now put on an arts festival every year, that celebrates creativity and is inspired by intersectional feminism. All profits go to a chosen charity. Our 3rd Good Moon Rising festival is on tomorrow! This year all profits will go to The Lake Tyres CFA (Victoria’s first aboriginal female country fire unit) and there community. Our brilliant community have donated time, food, hard work, art ...for a silent art auction, music, an accessible toilet and generally been so supportive. So come on down to support your local arts, community events and help us raise some cash for a good cause

14.01.2022 Its well-being week and I thought it would tie in nicely to launch my first e-newsletter and video series.

10.01.2022 Due to this challenging time, Annie has put together online sessions at a reduced rate of $35 to be more affordable and accessible. These can be one-off or ongoing. The aim of these sessions are for those who need space to process, connect, soothe, or just want to tap into your creativity again. At the end of the session, Annie will talk through a creative activity to support your mental health, depending on the needs we have identified in the meeting. Please don't hesitate to enquire at [email protected].

07.01.2022 It's the new month next week, which means my second video will be out. In this, we are exploring 'collages' - a common favourite among art therapists. Remember to sign up to the Kaleido e-newsletter (link in the comments) to have first access to this and more on art therapy and well-being . Here was the debut video on Nature mandalas. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMWkTr06PoU&t=29s

06.01.2022 In all the madness we can connect to each other, the ground and ourselves. This is a glimpse of the reconnecting workshop that I’ve been holding, which seemed even more vital in these times. It filled my heart constantly in gratitude of people and what they bring, especially when life has brought them so little. The reconnecting workshop is an Art Therapy, spirituality and nature open group. Yesterday we made individual and group nature mandalas and wrote poems in response to what our chosen pieces spoke to us

03.01.2022 Meet 'me' an inpatient mental health art therapist! published by the The Nurse Break

03.01.2022 A charming vision with a chilling message. A small picket-fenced house is the focus for a conversation about the number of women killed in Australia each ...year, in violent crimes. Made from scrapbooking paper the houses tell the story of life and death. "The thing about paper is it's very fragile, I could just hit that with one fist and that's destroyed." Paulette Hayes based her artwork on the research of Destroy the Joint Counting Dead Women project.

03.01.2022 Mindful tea drinking and tea painting today @teatonic

03.01.2022 Sharing my vision board for 2021. I love creating these at the start of the year, helping me to set intentions, have clarity and remember myself. I may add to it as time passes.... it’s been hard to find an affordable space to host workshops on creating these with the pandemic... ideas??
