Self-Care and Stress Management

Since stress is an ongoing aspect of life it is crucial to be actively responsive in finding ways to regulate ourselves to achieve good health and a balance in work-life. Learning to practice self-care in a way that works for you is a key part of managing the stresses of life. As such, we will use art-making to introduce self-care tools and explore ways to nurture inner peace and resilience.

Our Past Programs

We have worked with diverse groups of people, communities, and organisations in nurturing their desired wellness objectives. The following is an overview.

Community Engagement Project Memory: HAWKER edition	Exhibition Curation We curated a participatory exhibit of self portraits in Bangalore, India and Singapore simultaneously to celebrate all aspects of the 'self' and reflect on the changes we are experiencing in 2020.	Online Sessions We conducted various online sessions to facilitate emotional awareness through art media. Transitioning to online sessions has taught us how we can find ourselves in so much that already surrounds us -- “An adapter best describes me because I’m an adaptable person....currently I feel like water because I’m going with the flow” — a participant from our self-care series shared
Online Workshop: Sensory Experience An art therapy and mindful eating online experience, in collaboration with Tiffany Wee ( Naturopath and Mindful Eating Coach). Participants connected through art and tea from various parts of the world	Fit.Bengaluru Wellness Festival For the first time, much needed mental health was part of a Fitness Festival! Working with clay through guided action, and sculpting personal interpretations of a container. Participants shared how the session clarified misconceptions about Art Therapy, allowed for reducing their anxiety and staying present.	Care Carnival We set up a booth to raise awareness about art therapy and art for inclusivity. Here we facilitated activities such as printmaking and community weaving for children, caregivers, and everyone else in the community. We also had the chance to meet with Mr. Sam Tan, Minister of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Ministry of Social and Family Development. Many thanks to the Care Carnival Organizing Committee, Enabling Village, and Superhero Me for the opportunity to collaborate.
Nature Art for Self-Care This workshop is part of a series of self-care workshops run for the Care Carnival 2019. Participants were invited to take a pause and find respite in nature. In creating with natural materials, we may feel more grounded and more in tune with our senses.	Art for Emotional Wellbeing We conducted a session in Bangalore, introducing art therapy, with a focus on the mind-body connection, stress management and emotional expression. In collaboration with arts counsellor, Nandini Yadalam	Mother-Child Bonding Workshop During a school break, we facilitated an art therapy workshop with some mother and child pairs focused on bonding. A strong trusting parent-child relationship is a key element in nurturing joyful and resilient families. Therapeutic art-making can be a great way to strengthen connection and communication within dyad pairs, and have some fun in the process too!
Conflict Resolution Workshop Conflict Resolution is a complex social skill that can feel abstract and hard to grasp, especially for persons with special needs. We worked with students at Metta School to strengthen their conflict resolution abilities. Through the concrete processes of art-making, we worked to foster greater understanding of social dynamics and conflict resolution strategies.	Transition Workshop Transitions between phases of life can be difficult for everyone and especially so for persons with special needs. Through a series of 4 workshops, we supported students at Metta School in mentally and emotionally preparing to transition to life after graduating from school. Through art-making, we explored the sense of growing in school, connections made, emotional regulation, self-expression, dreams, and more.	Sustainable Weaving Workshop Weaving can be easy, affordable, and sustainable too! During the Ground Zero Festival, we shared ways to create looms and weaving fabrics using upcycled materials and natural dyes. Participants of all ages engaged in the mindful process of making their own weaving patches which could be displayed as artwork, used as coasters, or turned into necklace pendants.
Toys Don't Throw Workshop At the Ground Zero Festival, we also conducted workshops where children and parents created their own unique new toys by creatively transforming and combining old toys. From ambulance to food truck, single cars to a mega-vehicle, jewelry beads to paper weight, lego girls to door stopper, old toys are given a “new life” with inspiring ideas! We were amazed and inspired by all these imaginative creations by the children!	Veggie Dye Painting Workshop During the Ground Zero Festival, we showed how paints can be made of sustainable and earth-friendly materials too. We conducted veggie dye painting workshops where we guided participants to made their own veggie dyes and then use it to create an abstract painting. With this drawn-out process, each colour feels more magical and painting becomes an even more sensory experience.	Weaving Craft Workshop While in Brisbane, Australia, for a creative arts therapy symposium, we conducted a weaving craft skill-sharing workshop for fellow art therapists and art-enthusiasts. We shared with participants ways to create looms and weaving fabric using common items as well as a variety of fun weaving techniques.
Stress-Relief Workshop We facilitated a stress-relief art therapy workshop for employees at a company in Singapore. Various directives were introduced to increase their understanding of stress and explore ways to regulate emotions for a healthy work-life balance. For example, participants were guided to notice where in the body they experience “stress” by giving a form using different artistic mediums.
