Creative Art Therapy for seniors

If you are over 65, like to be creative and explore new art mediums, holistic integrated creative art therapist Michelle Greene will inspire you to explore your imagination and creativity through the medium of creative art and in turn improve self-esteem, confidence, motor skills and physical coordination.

She will also help to identify any blocks to emotional expression and personal growth.

There is no experience necessary, the activities will be guided, simple and fun.

The classes are held every Wednesday 10am- 2pm at Noosa Community Support, Wallace Park Noosaville and includes a light lunch and transport to and from your home.

Michelle’s Creative Art Therapy sessions are calm, inclusive and have a community and mental wellbeing focus.

“Humans are inherently creative beings with a desire to create, innovate and inspire. Yet many people don’t engage with their creative side because fear gets in the way,“ Michelle said.

“You don’t need to by arty to attend my groups. I will guide you through a simple fun creative activity while you enjoy the company and conversations of others.

“Each week I offer a different activity. The group has made vision boards, crafted watercolour mandalas and painted stones to place in the community garden just to name a few of the activities.”

A participant said, “Michelle, I have got a great deal out of your art therapy course, as it has really helped me with my mental health, anxiety and isolation. It gives me a reason and a purpose to get up in the morning and join a community of like-minded people.”

To find more information on eligibility, costs and to book your place simply phone the Centre on (07) 5329-6175.
