➡️ What is this group about? This short-term experiential group focuses on self-exploration and emotional reflection through creative processes, based on principles of Art Therapy. Drawing, painting, and symbolic expression are used as tools to explore inner experiences, increase self-awareness, and support reflection within a safe group setting. The focus is on the process rather than artistic outcomes. This group is not psychotherapy and does not have a clinical focus.
➡️ Who is this group for? The group is open to English-speaking adults (18+) who are interested in self-exploration and creative expression. No prior artistic or therapeutic experience is required. Participants are expected to be able to engage in a group process, reflect on their experiences, and respect confidentiality. The group is not suitable for individuals currently experiencing an acute mental health crisis.
➡️ What are the benefits for participants? The group contributes to preventive goals by reducing social isolation and loneliness among newcomers to Lithuania, while strengthening a sense of community, emotional well-being, and smoother integration into a new cultural environment.
Participants may: • develop greater awareness and understanding of their emotions; • experience creativity as a safe way to explore inner experiences; • strengthen self-acceptance and emotional awareness; • gain insights into personal resources and internal processes. After the sessions, participants may leave with increased clarity, more flexible attitudes toward themselves, and a lived experience of expressing inner experiences beyond words.
➡️ Sessions are led by art therapist Daiva Rainytė
