An inquiry with GRAT members into working with Creative Arts Therapies in a regional setting: September 2017

Sunday, 24 September 2017

I have been carrying a vision of a large dark object squashing out the creativity out of my soul...sounds very dark but as I drew the image it is not so dark as informing me as to what is the basis of the ossification of creativity. Here are a series of images and then the complete image for you to explore

too much weight

confusion and distraction

fear

lost for words

GRAT/MIECAT - Group Workshop Three

Hi all and thanks again for another wonderful workshop. It was lovely to see everyone and especially nice to meet Katie's new daughter Lily. Thanks to Rohan for coming along so that you could come to the workshop.

It was great to see you all experience the I.S.R. process to the prompt "Looking backward, Looking Forward" and share your thoughts about the process with the group afterwards. I am looking forward to you all posting them to the blog. If you can post your art and the ISR at the same time, that would be great. Please state who did the ISR also. Thanks.

The below photos are of the collaborative artwork, where we inquired into the three questions regarding the blog:

• What has been of value?

• What has been challenging?

• What are you curious about?

Denise collected keywords and phrases as you were talking and creating the artwork, but I would love to hear more of your thoughts. I wish I had spent more time on this on Saturday, but as always time was tight. Please, if you feel you have anything to add, record your reflections in the comment section below.

Warm regards, Jacinta
