I want to thank all who came to the
open house reception for the new Soul Journers Studio on May 20. I hope you
were able to get a sense of excitement around art therapy. I want to thank Memorial Drive Presbyterian
Church for their support of this wonderful opportunity to bring
therapy/counseling to this church and to the greater community. In particular,
the wonderful “junk” that Sara Osborn donated are a useful addition to our
construction materials. In addition, if
any one has any old, damaged, broken jewelry or left over sequins, scrapbook
stuff etc. please consider donating them to the studio.
Soul Journers Studio’s first group
is set to begin July 26, 10-12. This group is for those who are taking care of
family members with chronic illnesses. This includes dementias of all types,
terminal cancers, mental illnesses, and brain traumas. While each person’s
story is unique, the particular feelings and spiritual tasks around this type
of care giving can be shared bond. In art therapy you will be able to focus on
your own struggles with being a caretaker in this unique situation. Art therapy
can help you express the inexpressible and find your way through this part of
your journey. Groups are limited to 6 people so please call Sandra Tate, 404 455 8530 for an
appointment and to reserve a place in one of the groups.
