UPCOMING   workshops

2024 – Online, Tuesdays, Oct 22, 29, Nov 5, 12:     10-12:30 PST

“Possessions as Powerful Art Media” is a 4-week online art therapy group facilitated by Marilyn Hahn, B.Ed., DipCiiAT, PCAT, RCAT (pending).  Many clients resist using art materials because the are triggered by them for a variety of reasons: traumatic memories, boredom form overuse in the past, lack of skill, lack of finances to purchase materials, etc.  But there is something I use in my practice that always, always, always draws out the most powerful image- and meaning-making: personal possessions.  Not found objects, or “holy junk”, or modern art materials but one’s own personal possessions.  Based on powerful consumer behavior research, over a thousand hours of my own personal research and in-session applications, many case studies, and your own hands-on and heart-convincing artmaking, explore the powerful, undeniable, sure-fire healing efficacy of using personal possessions as art media.

Workshop #2

2024 – Online, Wednesdays, Nov 6, 13, 20, 27:     10 - 12:30 PST

“Artmaking for the Resistant and Unconvinced – But Mostly Guy  –  Client”:   I clearly understand that  this IS a generalization, but too many folks (and especially guys) turn their backs on any kind of therapy, including art therapy, as it’s “too much”: too much touchy-feely emotional flooding, too much talk and not enough action, too much “I can fix my own stuff”, and more.  Whatever the reasons, we can change that with enjoyable, sensitive, thinking-preference appropriate, and non-threatening therapeutic artmaking approaches.  Explore hands-on, creative, imaginal, and health-giving problem-solving directives and inquiry processes as we discover that we can support resistant clients accessing both their “touchy-feely” creativity and grounded logic.  We can provide therapeutic artmaking for guys (and boys and girls) resistant to touchy-feely stuff but open to using art to strengthen negotiation skills, self-care abilities, decision-making strategies, and whole-centered problem solving.

Workshop #3

2025 – Online, Wednesdays, Jan 8, 15, 22, 29:     10-12:30 PST

“Beautiful Refusals: the Art of Breath” is a 4-week online art therapy group where artmaking creates a space that takes “proper inhaling and exhaling” to a deeper, more creative and imaginal experience, and where breath shapes room for healing body, soul and spirit. 

Experiment pairing mind-body-soul breath with the shapes and forms of therapeutic art to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, manage pain, improve mood, and release toxins. 

Discover the healing shapes of suspension, attunement, rhythm, and visualization. 

Discover how to integrate calming breathwork with insight-making creativity to release the life-current that “runs through the innermost part of Being” toward “a beautiful refusal to become anything less than … ”.
