Description
Remember: This course includes a manual especially for October 2023. This course recognises the benefits of combining: Art Therapy prompts/exercisesExercise (walking)NatureSocial interactionFirst the course establishes the benefits of exercise out of doors. Then this is incorporated into establishing a 'Walking Art Therapy Group' i. e. how to set one up. The group activities i. e. prompts, are given together with suggestions about the application. This course also includes SIX separate stand-alone art therapy courses. These can easily be incorporated into the Walking Art Therapy Groupwork and so at the end of the course students will know: HOW to set up a Walking Art Therapy groupWHY set up such a groupWHAT activities to do as part of the groupThe various benefits to all from being part of the groupThere is a heavy emphasis on practical application on this course. Numerous Art Therapy exercises are given and it is hoped that students will DO these exercises and report back to the Q/A. Reference is also made to studies and the use of a variety of media. Again, ideally, students on the course will visit the links and then report back. When you finish, you'll feel you have been part of a Walking Art Therapy Group - and you'll have plenty of material that will enable you to set up and run such groups!
