This course is made up of various Art Therapy exercises - especially Storytelling - based round the activity of candle making.
Very important: accompanying this course is a detailed manual. The manual contains all the art therapy exercises AND the stories, further developed.
Therefore the course manual should be printed out/read in conjunction with the course itself. the lectures are kept fairly short as you are directed to the manual and requested to:
a. try out the art therapy exercises
b. report back via the Q/A with your thoughts and emotions before, during and after the process.
Remember: the course manual not only covers the lectures but also is an extension of them. For example, the stories begun in the lectures are added on to in the manual. Likewise the art therapy exercises, materials needed are covered more in the manual than in the lectures.
There are plenty of examples in this course - all from WHOOM 5 - the flourishing candle making business started and run by Mic
Who Should Attend!
- All interested in Art Therapy
- Those seeing candles as a product rather than a process
