Attending an art therapy workshop focused on boundaries can be a powerful way for individuals to explore and express personal limits in a creative and non-verbal manner. Through artistic activities, participants can visually represent their emotions, experiences, and challenges related to setting and maintaining boundaries in relationships, work, or self-care. The process of creating art allows for deeper reflection, helping people to identify unclear or unhealthy boundaries they may not be fully conscious of. Furthermore, the collaborative nature of such workshops can foster a safe environment for participants to discuss their boundary-setting difficulties and gain new perspectives, all while enhancing their emotional resilience and self-awareness.

On Friday 22nd November (7pm-9pm), Phoenix Wings Wellness is offering an evening of creative expression for anyone who would like to learn how to put healthy boundaries into place. 

Investment: $40 per person, includes art materials, and a handout. Please bring your own snacks. Purchase your ticket below.

This workshop offers a safe, non-judgmental space to reflect on personal experiences, unresolved conflicts, or aspirations, fostering self-discovery and growth.

Minecraft programs are an absolute delight, bringing together a vibrant community of builders, adventurers, and creators in an expansive digital universe. These serve as boundless playgrounds where imagination reigns supreme. Collaborating with fellow players not only sparks innovation but also fosters friendships and teamwork as you construct towering castles, embark on daring expeditions, and unravel the mysteries of blocky landscapes together. The shared experiences within these programs transcend mere gaming; they become canvases for collective storytelling, problem-solving, and endless laughter. With each block placed and every adventure embarked upon, Minecraft programs epitomise the true essence of creativity, camaraderie, and endless possibilities within an ever-evolving sandbox world.

This event is about inclusivity, social connection, and using your imagination, in a sensory safe environment​, aimed at ages 12-25 years, for up to 8 participants.

Our history: Bree came to me back in November 2023 to discuss the idea of starting this group.

We’ve been able to work together with me supporting her in getting this up and running through two open table sessions where the local autistic community was invited to come along and share their ideas. As a result of this, Bree is ready to start this group to provide a space for autistic adults to come and be with others that are similar to her. Bree has said that after being diagnosed as autistic (we both use identity first language) last year, she was looking for social support groups but the closest ones were in Melbourne. She wants to be able to create healthy social situations for herself and other autistic people (with reduced need for support workers to be present) where they can feel free to be themselves and not mask.

During the open table sessions, we discussed the possibility of fortnightly circle meetings that would be at a range of locations across the border and north east Victoria, and at different days and times to suit a variety of people. Activities might include going to a cafe for a social catch up, or doing an arts and craft session at a local organisation. We are open to more ideas, please message us below.

We believe that self-diagnosis is valid, especially with the often prohibitive cost of assessments, so you don’t need a formal diagnosis to attend. Attendance is free for this event!

To RSVP, please fill out the form below. BYO drinks, a snack, and fidgets. I know this will be difficult for some of you to do, but we’ve totally got this. If you need to bring a support person, that is absolutely fine too. An email confirmation with a contact number will be sent to you a few days prior to the event, so you can message us if it’s too much, and you need someone to come walk with you from your transportation.

Rage writing can be a powerful outlet for expressing anger, offering numerous benefits beyond simply venting emotions. When channeled into writing, anger transforms into a creative force that allows individuals to explore and understand their emotions more deeply. This process often leads to a sense of catharsis and emotional release, as pent-up feelings find a constructive outlet. Moreover, creative writing encourages introspection and self-reflection, promoting personal growth and resilience in managing intense emotions.

Creative writing fosters empathy and connection. By articulating anger through letters, stories or poems, writers can connect with others who may have experienced similar emotions, creating a sense of solidarity and understanding. This shared experience can be therapeutic, validating one's feelings and reducing feelings of isolation. Furthermore, the creative process itself promotes mindfulness and relaxation, offering a meditative escape from the intensity of anger. Ultimately, creative writing not only helps individuals manage their emotions effectively but also cultivates empathy, resilience, and a deeper connection to oneself and others.

On Friday 30th August (7pm-9pm), Phoenix Wings Wellness is offering an evening of creative expression for anyone who would like to learn how to channel their anger and frustration into writing. 

Investment: $30 per person, includes art materials and handout. Please bring your own snacks. Purchase your ticket below.
