Strike a Light: Rugby, Where are you feeling?

FREE creative workshop with Soul Paint

Friday 15 May 1-2.30pm 

Have you ever struggled to find the words to describe how you feel? Join us for a body mapping workshop where you will be able to create a life-size artwork expressing your own inner world.
Using creative arts techniques such as drawing to make these invisible experiences visible, this workshop will invite you to express the often indescribable and create new perspective on your own experience. 
Led by multi award winning artist and director Sarah Ticho, during this hands-on workshop you will be guided to create your own, life-sized body map, which visualises and explores experiences of emotion, feeling and sensation in the body. You will be led through a series of meditative and creative activities based on the tenets of mindfulness and Positive Psychology during the body mapping process to help articulate and visually express experiences of, and methods for coping with everyday feelings, emotions and sensations.
You will also be able find more about the adaptation of body mapping into a virtual reality experience – Soul Paint - and how it is being utilised to create a new paradigm in communication, research and health interventions for pain and mental health conditions.
