‘The Hanged Man'
Stop, surrender, take another point of view & make peace with who you are and where you are in your life-
for today anyway..
The world today is a strange and ever changing place & life is a certainly a strange thing. As therapists, we are both healer & wounded. Most of the time we hear the about darker sides of life, with the ask of simultaneously negotiating our own fears and issues. How do we mirror to our clients a meaningful life? Where we can feel both connected and attached to the realities of basic life and also the bigger picture with both strength & vulnerability?
WHAT WILL YOU GET out of this session? Within the framework of Rena’s unique form of art therapy, her Pd will be combining Soul Centred Psychotherapeutic tools such as mindfulness, generative trance, metaphor, Archetypal & mythic theory, ritual and elemental work, with the non verbal healing properties of art therapy. ’The Hanged Man’ pd is an experiential package, offering the therapist both a deep exploration of one’s own life’s purpose as well as a tool box to offer clients in their search.
ART THROUGH THERAPY with Rena Hoffman offers an opportunity uniquely relevant to SCP’s. Rena was one of the original graduates of the Kairos course. Following completion of her formal foundation training in psychology and Soul Centred Psychotherapy, she combined her passion for art and counselling to pursue a fulfilling career in art therapy. The primary focus of her practice has been in stress management, trauma focus therapy, mentoring young women and holding Sacred, holistic rituals for all ages. With a strength in visual and experiential based learning, she has been successful in establishing an enriched practice.
What is ART THROUGH THERAPY?It is a form of expressive therapy that uses art materials. It combines traditional psychotherapy theories and techniques with an understanding of the psychological aspects of the creative process.
It is important to note that you do not have to be an artist to participate in ART THROUGH THERAPY. Anyone of any age can do it. The emphasis is on the giving of form, the process, not the end result.

‘GOOD GRIEF’
You are invited to come, create and explore your grief.
Whether current or old, obvious or hidden…How do you do grief? Or perhaps, How does grief do you?
We have all been touched by grief in some way or another throughout our lives. Sometimes it can deepen us, sometimes diminish us. Sometimes both..
Come, create, express.. your grief
Art through therapy is not an art class, but an avenue to explore your potential, using the tool of creativity. Art has been use for millenia by humans to express joy, pain, life. It has been used for healing purposes as well as pleasure.
Consider it the glue between your body, mind and soul; a language that can express somatised experiences in your body; your memories and life lessons which color who you are and how you face the world, both positively and negatively.
Through the diverse modality of Soul Centred Psychotherapy, Rena uses a combination of tools (mindfulness, regenerative trance, focusing, giving form, enchantment, ritual, story telling) and many years of experience in art, to assist the process of healing. Creating a space where the relationship between the body mind system can occur easefully, informatively and safely. Offering a plethora of materials to use to explore this.
Important, the focus is as much on the process as the end product.
This group session is suitable to individuals who have or are experiencing grief..and its effects.
This 3 hour sorjourn is held and facilitated with reverence and compassion to both the participant and their creative process within a contained safe space. Bring an attitude of giving things a go. Come and try one out.
