ARTS ECO THERAPY HEALING OURSELVES AND THE PLANET AT FETE LA FROG

© Catherine Meeson Creative Therapeutic Encounters

On 23rd March I was able to contribute to a lovely grassroots festival called Fete La Frog, which was a collective celebration of Environment, culture, the arts, Healing and positive change. As always happens with small festivals , the atmosphere was warm, family friendly and pro active.

I held an Arts Eco Therapy themed workshop for Healing Ourselves and Healing the Planet.  This is an area I am most passionate about, for healing cannot occur without considering the greater relations  of which we are a part in the dynamic  flux of life. The elements which make us all up, the Earth, the Air, the Fire the Water, are teachers in process. Artefacts of nature serve as tools of awareness, for resonant practise and reflection for persons own healing and also serve as doorway to invite action for reciprocity in the larger world. For , we seek healing for ourselves, but what of the world around us? We can’t stop with just ourselves, not once we gain understanding and a greater empathy for all beings. Not once we know how things are related.  We are not talking about a level of scientific understanding of facts and statistics and clinical methods, but the intrinsic interwoven nature of the very fabric of existence, our relation to and with.

The workshop space was  in a lovely progressive chapel, we worked on the floor in front of the Organ pipes . A while ago my son was given a globe light of The Earth, which was a beautiful centrepiece for the space, and we shared a collection of earthly artefacts, things from water, air, earth,  and fire; we have to settle for a candle symbolic of the greater spirit indwelling; for fire. Through tactile sensing and reflective practise people are able to find the message in the moment on their journey, and express in given media . For me, holding the space , it is about creating openings for people, and awareness, providing the tools and prompts for exploration.  I am thankful to the participants and hope the process was able to serve their  journey and the prompts will continue to inspire thought and action about  the reciprocal nature of healing  and relating and how we might branch out into community to offer service for healing the Earth as well as Ourselves.
