| Creative Expressions at Spiritual Directions |

| Many people on a healing journey have been drawn to the Strawberry Tree
Art Studio. Others come to the studio for advanced level training courses in art therapy --to learn the skills of helping others on their healing journeys. Still others come to enjoy a workshop of self discovery or construct a sacred object. The pieces below are examples of creations by these various participants. |

My Angry Man |
||
| I have a very angry man living inside of me and it scares me. When I first
started working with clay to create a container for my anger I felt embarrassed
and ashamed, a lot like how I feel about my anger. I felt the piece I had
created was ugly. After I worked with the piece more, painting and adorning
it, it changed into a thing of beauty and magic. Through art therapy with Straja I have learned a better, healthier way to deal with my angry feelings. The Art work facilitates a deeper insight into my angry feelings and the hurt, fear and pain that is behind the anger. Instead of trying to numb my anger or squash it down inside of me, I can feel the anger and express it through the art work. The creative process gives my angry man a voice in a safe and truly healing way. I have learned that angry feelings can be worked out through clay and various art forms and can be transformed into a treasure of insights. Carol |
