Step into a gentle, creative space where art meets mindfulness. “Sensing into Comfort” invites you to slow down, reconnect with your senses, and discover new ways to soothe and ground yourself through artistic expression.  In this guided art therapy workshop, we’ll explore how our five senses - sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell - can help us access feelings of ease, calm, and emotional balance. Using found images and intuitive collage-making, you’ll create your own transitional object, such as a small booklet or tactile collage, that embodies a personal sense of comfort and peace.  This tangible piece will become a portable sanctuary, something you can hold, look at, and return to whenever you need to regulate overwhelming emotions or find grounding outside of therapy.   

This art workshop will be led by Jessica, currently an Art Therapy Student at Toronto Art Therapy Institute and a teacher with the Peel District School Board. Her approach to art therapy is client centered, collaborative, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed.

Materials:  All collage materials and supplies will be provided. Feel free to bring any magazines, fabrics, or meaningful found images or textures that provide comfort and calm.

Location:   This art workshop will take place in-person at Hospice Mississauga, 1-855 Matheson Blvd. East, Mississauga, ON
