What is Winter Time Café? Winter Time Café is a model of social programming that provides an inviting place for people with forgetfulness or other changes in their thinking – and their family/friends!
Thursday, February 19 – Expressive Arts Therapy Workshop: “Silhouette Self-Portraits”
Discover yourself through color, texture, and collaboration! In this expressive arts therapy workshop, you’ll create a multimedia self-portrait based on your own silhouette. Working with a partner, you’ll trace the outline and then bring your silhouette to life using a mix of materials: colors, symbols, textures, images, and words that reflect your inner world.
This playful and reflective process invites you to:
– explore identity and self-expression
– experience connection and playfulness through creative partnership
– experiment with mixed-media and sensory pleasing or interesting materials
– gain insight into the many layers that make you you
All materials are provided. No art experience needed — just curiosity and an open heart!
About the Facilitator: Cécile Rêve, Founder, Co-owner and CEO at ARTrelief™; Clinical Director, Counseling Services; Licensed Mental Health Counselor & Educator
I started to dream up ARTrelief™ shortly after I began my professional work as an Expressive Arts Therapist in 2000. After almost a decade in the Mental Health field in various settings (early intervention, elder care, outpatient family services, home and school based services, Community arts and after-school programs), I planted the seeds of ARTrelief™ out of my home studio in 2008. Two years later I opened our center in Watertown, Massachusetts.
I was born and raised in Cameroon, West Africa, with multicultural and spiritually inclusive values. I have worked with all ages, and I thrive in diversity. I speak fluent French, conversational Spanish and some American Sign Language.
Please email Tracy to register. You must attend with your spouse or caregiver.
Seniors Helping Seniors is proud to sponsor this Active Living Program Winter Time Cafe at Temple Emanuel.
