Since we’re locking ourselves up again in many aspects due to the pandemic, it’s high time again to find new ways of experiencing our freedom and sources of joy, fulfilment and success.

Since being creative and having as much social support as possible, are well known for their benefits to the general sense of well-being – and also because I received the positive feedback of so many of you about the previous Challenge in springtime 🙂 – I decided to launch a new Challenge to boost our mood and help make the best out of this situation we’re all in now.

So, what are the new rules?

It’s really easy!

  1. I upload in a post each week a topic for the week on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ernartcoaching
  2. You have the whole week to create a picture, a montage, a collage, a statue, an installation or any other type of creation with any type of material that reflects the topic of the week.
  3. On Sunday upload the photo of your creation as a comment under the post of the topic, with or without a title or explanation.
  4. Gather inspiration from the creations of others, and support them with your comments!

Join and let your own creativity and connection with others make you feel energized and supported in our company!

How to start?

You don’t need to have any artistic talent or education. Genuine creativity is in all of us, you just have to let it show itself! 🙂

Looking forward to see your creations! 🙂

Erna

20 decagram flour

20 decagram salt

125 ml water

2-3 teaspoon oil

Put the ingerdients in a big bowl, and mix them thoroughly. Your plasticine is ready! J

If you wish your creation be long lasting, dry it in a warm owen for 30-40 min. at 100-110 ˙C. When you’re ready you can even apply  transparent lacquer on it!

Nowadays, as we spend much more time at home than usual, and don’t have the opportunity to relax with our friends or even go to the theater or the movies, we have the time to discover new ways of spending spare time.

If you’ve already been thinking about going to an art therapy course, but due to the lack of time eventually you never did, or have just met this possibility, but you’re interested in self development  and self awareness raising methods, miss change from your life and could enjoy getting away from your everyday life for a few hours each week, an art therapy online course has just been invented for you!

Art therapy gives you the chance of awakening your creativity, and flying to unknown lands with the wings of your creations. In the meanwhile  you can discover yourself from a different point of view in a supporting environment (in a group or in a therapeutical relationship), where you can share your emotions and thoughts, and get help to connect with your resources and cope with your difficulties.

And you don’t even need to go out from home, it works perfectly online as well!

What will you need for this?

Art therapy is based on the process of creation, for which you can use anything that your interests and openness allow you to.

Do you have a favourite method? Would you like to paint? Or prefer drawing? Would you try working with clay?  Just get the necessary tools and materials for it e.g. a few paintbrushes and 5-6 colours of aquarelle or acrylic paint, some colour pencils, chalks, or a few pieces of clay. You’ll be able to use them, because we’ll taylor the art therapy tasks to your favourite techniques!

Or do you have no idea what you would enjoy, but you’re interested in trying the tools and techniques we use at the art therapy sessions? I help you with pleasure, and after the first discussion you’ll be able to choose easily!

What if you can’t get any artistic means or materials to use at the sessions?

If, for any reason, you can’t buy any artistic materials at all, you still don’t miss anything! There are a lot of available recipes for preparing your own home made paint or plasticine. Either you make paints out of puddings, or use a self made salt-flour plasticine, you’ll see, that it will be even more exciting to work with them at the sessions!

Since everybody has different materials, all the art therapy tasks will be tailored to you, but still there will be tasks for which everbody will have the same type of materials….

And these type of tasks will be those, where you’ll have to activate your inner creativity the most! You’ll use the objects from your environment and others, that you collect from the nature. It’s already exciting to check what you notice in your surroundings as potential material for your creations! Pebbles, pieces of wood, leaves etc. can gain a new sense through a creation!

If you’re interested how this can look like in practice, please check out some works prepared at the art therapy sessions at

https://www.facebook.com/ernartcoaching/

Try it, and register in the next art therapy group or take individual art coaching sessions!

As a professional mental health counsellor and art therapist I have been thinking about a lot how I could offer help to those that feel despaired or have difficulties with coping with the stress and the solitude of the (voluntary) quarantine and of the separation from the loved ones in the present situation caused by the spread of the coronavirus.

Two possibilities came to my mind, that I will realize from Monday.

Since I have been dealing with art therapy I got acquainted with a lot of creative people  whom joined creation helped find their emotional balance again and flourish their hidden capacities. At the same time I heard often that during the hurry of everyday life they don’t have the time for drawing or painting, although they have a deep desire to do so.

For this reason it came to my mind that we could use the opportunities of the long hours at home in these difficult days to recharge ourselves and support each other with joint creating.

Creating sets us free, helps forget the difficulties of our situation and feel the joy of life, that we  all really need.

In order to support this I advertise a 14 Day Creative Challenge starting tomorrow.

Details:

  1. I create a Facebook event in the group ErnArt – Coaching and Counseling in English, where I upload every morning at 09:00 a.m. a topic for the day, in relation to which we will make creations.
  2. You can use any technique, tool and material, you can draw, paint, use clay or create a montage, collage or an installation, it may contain only of a few lines or it can be a real masterpeace, but the only task is to make a creation in relation to the topic and upload its photo under the event with or without a comment.
  3. Gather inspiration from the others’ photo, and support them with your comments!
  4. Continue making creations for two weeks and feel the energy deriving from your art and the unity with others!
  5. If you can join later or have to leave out a day or two, don’t worry you, can make it up afterwards!

Besides the above I also help individuals who feel the need of talking to a professional in the framework of mental health counselling and life coaching sessions. due to the present situation I decided to offer for 50% of the regular fee a limited number of online helping conversation and life–coaching sessions. The fee of these sessions: 20 EUR / 50 min.

If you feel that it could help to talk to a professional, please contact me in e-mail:

People who decide to move to a new country are usually courageous and opened to new experiences and adventures. It makes us richer to meet cultures, people, worldviews and ways of living, surprisingly different from our own. It keeps us fresh, since we may learn exciting new things each day, and can lead us to a deeper understanding of the world. Living abroad is a fantastic experience not comparable to anything else, but on the other hand it comes with certain difficulties that need to be handled.

Being far from home, family, friends, and the familiar environment,  as well as the stunning amount of new experiences may make us feel a little lonely though, now and then. Especially, when we face problems in our life. When we feel more vulnerable than usual anyway, we may lose emotional balance and miss very much the support of our loved ones and the security of the habitual environment, like a cup of coffee with our best friend in our favourite café.

However, coping succesfully with our problems and finding balance in hard times is essential. During art therapy sessions you can find your answers to your questions in life in an emotionally supportive environment, through drawing, painting and other techniques. In the friendly atmosphere, where you feel understood and accepted, I help you to find solutions.

You don’t need to know anything about art or drawing, the methods awaken the natural creativity in you, that exists in all of us.

Thus, besides reaching again your inner balance, you’ll  feel understood and full of energy by the end of the sessions.

If you feel that you need some support, give art therapy a try, and call me at +36306243945 or e-mail to erna.adamko@gmail.com
