Soul Art: A workshop manual for creativity and wellbeing

In a gentle and wise way Shaeron Caton Rose has brought together her wealth of experience in community art to offer us this practical guide to leading groups. Behind the clear step-by-step instructions that take us through leading a group – from making an agreement to reflecting on the process – she unlocks joyful possibilities of discovery. She encourages us to ‘have a go’ at creative activities, but also to sit within the process so that what the art is revealing to us is shared and loved. Shaeron shows us how to slow down, how to value our bodies, how to pay attention to the world around us, how to be calm and positive and also to recognise and value our brokenness and incompleteness. Using inexpensive resources and practical suggestions, this book is a gift from Shaeron’s treasure trove of ideas, taking us to a place of playful adventure and profound transformation.
