🖼 'Unlock Your Inner Artist

🪷 Max 8 people
🖌 No need for art experience

Would love to see you there! 🥰👩🏼‍🎨

For a lot of us, the biggest block was never skill..

It's believing we weren't "the creative type" in the first place

It's our negative self-beliefs:

• Perfectionism
• Judgement
• Fear of failure
• Comparison
• Shame
• Fear of being seen
• Need for control....

Through my training and practice as an art therapist, I've learned tools to release exactly these kind of blocks, and I'd love to share them with you!

'Unlock Your Inner Artist' is a 5-week course to reconnect to your creativity, using inspiring and introspective art exercises.

● Starts: Oct. 15
● 5 in person evening sessions 2,5 hour
● at Inner Art Ateljé, art studio in Uppsala
● Max 8 people
● Including Art journal & artist quality pastels to continue your journey at home

Hej! I'm Vera, and art therapist and founder of Inner Art Atelje, a cosy art studio in Uppsala where I give Mindful Art Workshops, deepening creative courses (like UYIA) and individual art therapy.

My goal is simple: to help you come back to your happy place through art! 🥰

It's not a lack of talent or skills that's standing in between us and our creativity, but our negative beliefs!

I believe that you ARE a creative person because creativity is a state of being, not just a skill set!

Get into this state with the course: 'Unlock Your Inner Artist'!

● 5 Evenings we'll come together in an intimate group (max 8) in my art studio in Uppsala called Inner Art Atelje
● Art is the tool, but it unlocks ANY form of creativity! Whether it's writing articles, programming, setting up a business, or cooking

~•●•~ I've had these struggles myself, but luckily, because of my art therapy practices and training, I've developed tools to release these mental blockages and create freely & joyfully again! ~•●•~

Hi! I'm Vera, Dutchy, art therapist and founder of Inner Art Atelje, where I've been so lucky to have had over a 100 wonderful people joining my workshops, courses and individual art therapy ♡ I'd love to welcome you too!

#kreativitet #workshop #art #mentalwellbeing #happiness

HOW A CREATIVE BLOCK CAN FEEL:

● you have convinced yourself that you are not a creative person

● you grew up believing that your creativity was fun, but not valuable

● you feel frustrated every time you try something creative

● you only allow yourself to be creative after finishing your 'higher priority' tasks

● you set high bars on your creative self (and therefore have troubles feeling joy)

● you love being creative but you're currently experiencing a writers block (/creative block)

THIS IS HOW YOU FEEL WHEN YOU UNLOCK YOUR INNER ARTIST:

● you experience creative freedom

● you have the tools to tap into your inspirational flow

● you know how to nurture your creative state of being

● you feel free to create without judging

● you trust your own creative voice again

● you feel proud of what you make

● you reconnect with your joy

Next week applications open for the 5 week program: 'Unlock Your Inner Artist'!

This week I only had 1 day where I wanted to create 3 pieces of content to post the coming days.

But.....

I was completely out of inspiration...

After sitting and thinking for a while, I decided to stop that and just check into myself with intuitive drawing and art journalling. No goal. Just turning inwards, relax & draw.

And then...

I SWEAR; only 5 minutes in and I already had 3 new ideas that popped into my head without any effort!

This is the amazing power of intuitive drawing! Bottom up approach, feelings & body first, thoughts come after that.

I just LOVE IT 🤗

What I've learned from giving many workshops ♡ I'm curious to know if you feel the same or if you have any other inspiring ideas about it 😊

I just LOVE the Mindful Art Workshops! It's so fulfilling to create art together in an admosphere where you can truly relax, be yourself, and feel inspired. I love the beautiful conversations that come up, and the connections that are made. At least that's how it feels for me🤗

Big thanks to everyone who has joined them or who is curious to join in the future!

This month the workshops will be less frequently because of summer plans, but from the end of August they'll run every weekend again!

For people that don't know me yet: I'm Vera, an art therapist from the Netherlands. 1,5 year ago I founded Inner Art Ateljé in Uppsala where I host Mindful Art Workshops and individual art therapy sessions. I love how art can help you to get back to yourself and feel more in balance again 🥰

The way I see Art Therapy, there are two main streams:

•●• Product Focussed •●•
Meaning: art making in itself is already very therapeutic. It can put you into a meditative state of being, it's a healthy outlet for complex emotions, it increases self-confidence, etc.
☆ This is my idea behind the Mindful Art Workshops

•●• Process Focussed •●•
Meaning: the way we approach life is reflected in the way we make art. It uses the process of art making as a tool for observation, to learn and integrate new behaviours.
☆ This is my idea behind (individual) art therapy sessions

Hi, I'm Vera! A Dutch Art Therapist and founder of Inner Art Atelje in Uppsala where I already welcomed over a 100 beautiful people! An art studio where you can come back to yourself through art, either via relaxing and lighthearted mindful art workshops, or deepening individual art therapy sessions ♡

#mental wellbeing #growth #creativity #selfcare #art

Sometimes it's better to not work on yourself. Sometimes life is a little too harsh to face it all at once. Sometimes you have to survive first, and then survive the survival.

Survive the unavailable father, survive not being allowed to be yourself, survive the love you didn't receive, survive the thread.

But then, at some moment, there is a little distance between you and the thread, and life is inviting you to grow through your pain. And you feel strong enough to do it.

That is the moment you can slowly start your journey inwards. It can be a journey that feels confronting to take. But it's also the path to healing, to love. First self-love, then love for all will follow.

I worked through my anxiety and pains, and I feel so much lighter and experience conscious joy and peace. I wish this for you too, so that's why I kindly invite everyone who feels capable, to take a look inwards and see which parts could still be healed. It's a great luxury to have, to heal our inner world!

The more you are living according to your balance and authentic self, the kinder, more loving, calmer and open minded you can be towards others.

To be there for yourself = to be there for others ♡

The way we live life, is reflected in the way we make art.

That's the beautiful mirroring effect of art,

and the idea behind art therapy.

We can observe ourselves and our behaviour through our creations and learn from them. And the best part:

we can then learn, through art, how to make conscious decisions and do things differently.

Because art making is both cognitive and experiential, you don't only change your thoughts and mind, but your nervous system changes too. It helps to integrate new insights into your body, which makes it easier to apply new behaviour into your daily life, and to feel more balanced.

And behind each of these art pieces there is a deeper story to tell

These were made with intentions, based on intuition.

~•●•~ Finally feeling a deep sense of relaxation again

~•●•~ Finding the key to reconnect to your deepest truth

~•●•~ Realizing what your next step will be

That's what art therapy can help you with ♡

Starting my own business is one of the greatest, AND one of the scariest things Iv'e done in my career so far..!

I am a 1000% sure that I will keep doing this, but the struggles are also real...

There was one point that I realized that the financial stress was getting the better of me, and that working in my atelier felt like pressure instead of joy.

And that's not how I want my life-work to feel like.

So with the summer season coming up, I decided to take off the financial pressure of my starting business and take on a part time summer job as a cook on the oldest steamboat in Sweden (and boy do I like this job...!😍)

This way I get to work on my atelier from a space of energy, exitement and joy again, so that when you come, I can pass it on to you ♡

Practice new, more in balanced, behaviour in art therapy ♡

Together we'll gently look for your triggers in the safe haven of art. If you have troubles with bounderies, we can make an art piece together where I'll try to gently aggitate you in the art making proces and where you can practice responding.

Or if you have problems with letting go, we can make as many wet in wet watercolour paintings (technique with little controle) until you feel okay with not having control.

And then we come back to where this series started. Because you now know how to set up your boundaries, or let go of control in art therapy, it gets much esier to apply these new experiences in you daily life ♡

If you learn that your emotions are a part inside you, but not you, this distance can give you clarity and space to make other, healthier dicisions.

Making intuitive art about your emotions is a beautiful way to create this distance.

For example, when something is triggering your anxiety, instead of acting on it, you now have space to take a different decision:

"I realize that my anxiety is being triggerd and that I prefer to ... (call in sick/ take a glass of wine/ scroll on social media) ... I'm greatful for the signal that my body is giving me (trigger is sign of disbalance) and I choose to listen to it. AND then I choose to act on it in a healthy way (call a friend, paint, move, hug someone)."

By not walking away for your emotions but aknowlage them, and then act in a healthy way, the chances are high that you will experience less triggers over time.

If this is something you want to work on, but you're not sure how to, feel free to send me a message!

Today: How to stop running away from your emotions through art therapy.

Do you recognise the feeling of restlessness, the moment you finally have time to relax and do nothing? And ending up looking for distractions so you don't have to deal with it?

You are not the only one! This is a very common coping mechanism for unprocessed and unconscious emotions.

In this video I explain how art making can help you become aware of these unconscious emotions

What would you like to work on in Art Therapy?

I just recorded a 3 part series about how Art Therapy can help you with:

● stop running away from your emotions & discovering underlying patterns

● concretely practicing new & healthy behaviour

● creating distance between you and your emotions and why that is important

I am Vera, an art therapist and founder of Inner Art Ateljé in Uppsala. For years I've worked in hospitals in the Netherlands guiding people back to themselves through art. Now I want to help you.

In today's intro video I talk about how the way you approach life, is reflected in the way you approach art-making.

Art has a huge mirroring effect that can help you shine a light on unconsciouss patterns.

If you are a perfectionist in your daily life, you will also be perfectionistic in your art, if you have a low self-esteem, you tend to take up less space on the canvas.

Follow this series the next 3 days to learn more!

Tomorrow: how to stop running away from your emotions!

The moment I start drawing, I feel my body relax.

It's a pause button on autopilot. A conscious moment to actually be present, instead of spending the whole day stuck in my head.

When I get quiet like this, I become aware of my body and my feelings. And that's when I can finally listen to what it's been signaling to me. There's so much information in there, if we just stop long enough to notice!

Sometimes I realize I've been unconsciously dreading something; an appointment, a dinner, a meeting. Drawing gives me the space to reflect on that, and maybe make a different choice. One that actually benefits my balance...

Take rest instead. Skip the extra meeting. Cancel the dinner, go for a walk instead.

It sounds so simple, because it is... Yet it's so easy to loose ourselves in this everyday hectic.

So let's draw and listen to the small signals, so that they don't have to grow into big ones.

This is why I draw! Not to make something, but to come back to myself. ♡

#konstuppsala #bildterapi #artmedicine #happy #painting

Resisting an uncomfortable feeling tends to make it louder and keeps your nervous system activated. The original emotion/ trigger may pass naturally, but if you keep fighting it, the resistence doesn't.

Beying okay with not being okay sends a safety signal to your body that allows your nervous system to calm down again.

This is where art comes in: when you create a piece that expresses these uncomfortable emotions, the act of art itself is the allowing of these feelings. You sit with them in the safe space of art and allowing them to be felt and released. 🪷🎨

Have you ever caught yourself fighting a feeling instead of letting it be? (My answer would be definitely yes..!) I'm curious to hear from you 🥰

It's just so great to make art TOGETHER!!

As a host of mindful art workshops I just loveee to see how everyone encourages each other! Making art together can help you see and validate your own work through the eyes of others (who are usually much kinder and more positive)!

I love to see how people that who start out a little unsure, actually end up feeling proud of their art!

Big love for these workshops!! 🥰🤗
