Healing Artist Block

with Cornelia Elbrecht

"Healing Artist Block: Connecting with your creative flow" teaches a number of applicable exercises for times when you feel stuck, and are overthinking ideas. How can you emerge from frustration and depression and reconnect with your inner flow? The course is vividly illustrated with filmed case examples and has been designed not only for artists, but for anyone who wants to find that inner 'flow'-state of creativity. 

Taking elements of healing from our course "Healing Trauma with Guided  Drawing" and incorporating methods from Sensorimotor Art Therapy practice, Cornelia Elbrecht brings to you a beautiful process of creative release. Experience in art or art therapy is not necessary.

Over 1.5 hours of engaging, high quality video tutorials bring these exercises and techniques to life. Students can access the course in their own time, retaining full access to all the material for 12 months. These exercises are designed to be experimented with, adapted and applied to whatever creative project is currently your focus.

This was a much needed and timely offering. I struggle with feeling blocked artistically to the point that I sometimes question who I am as an artist. The videos and guided examples specifically addressed what I am feeling and gave me practical strategies and art-based activities to support my artistic self and find ways to release my creative spirit.
