"Art Therapy Workshop" as a source of resources

The work of the "Art Therapy Workshop" continues within the framework of the "Warm Wednesday" project from the Department of Psychology and the Center for Mental Resilience and Well-being "InCitу" of the Horlivka Institute of Foreign Languages. On February 5, 2025, the second meeting on the topic "What nourishes the "Tree" of our life?" was held, which again united students, graduates, employees of the GIIM and teachers of Ukrainian educational institutions. The class was conducted by Associate Professor of the Department of Psychology N.G. Kosheleva.

The participants got acquainted with the psychological interpretations of the archetypal symbol "tree", tried to perform the meditative practice "I am a tree", aimed at returning a sense of support and strengthening internal stability. The attendees were also offered the isotherapeutic technique "Tree of Life", which integrates the inner "I" of the individual and its connection with the Family, which supports a person, makes him stronger, and gives a resource through centuries and generations.

The participants' vivid drawings, their deep analysis and reflections demonstrated the interest of those present and the effectiveness of the work carried out. The session was warm, informative, and resourceful. We invite everyone to the next meetings in our "Art Therapy Workshop"!
