Workshops

Art as Healing

One essential element to Tamara's healing was being able to express her feelings through words. Using basic poetry as a guide to healing is a good way to confront different aspects of yourself. Feeling workshops also provide an opportunity to write short essays about specific topics that affect their lives. Each client has to be willing to share their thoughts and ideas with others so that all can benefit from the healing power of words.

As with the art for healing classes, these workshops are being used as a tool for self-expression an exploration. This class is not meant to analyze, diagnose or treat individuals who are in need of psychotherapy. Its only intention is to facilitate an emotional an intimate connection using creativity as a tool.

Tamara offers a variety of art & writing workshops based on her own personal experience with using these mediums as a tool for healing. All workshops are led by the artist herself. The workshops are therapeutic, however Tamara Madden does not purport to be an art therapist. She is a fine artist with extensive experience using art as a method of healing.

Tamara uses art as a tool for personal expression and exploration. She acts only as a facilitator of the creative process. Madden does not offer interpretation of the art created, nor does she diagnose clients in any capacity. Art is being used as a vehicle--a means to escape from the reality that one may be dealing with. Each person is responsible for their own self-exploration and interpretation.

Although therapeutic, these workshops do not fall under the description of Art Therapy, which is performed by licensed clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers who deal in psychotherapy services. Their goal is to analyze, diagnose, and treat a variety of problems using art as a tool. Tamara's goal is to teach you that creating art is a daily opportunity to get in touch with the most intimate side of yourself, and she uses her personal experience as a guide in helping clients connect with that side of themselves.
