Our
work couldn't have taken place without the unfailing support of the
Eric Liddell Centre, especially their Day Care Centre which worked in
partnership to begin our work in dementia care. We would also like to
thank the Elms, North Merchiston Care Home, the Community Mental Health
team's Older People's service, the Open Door and the Dementia Friendly
Community of Portobello for the opportunities they gave us to deliver
art therapy to people living with a diagnosis of dementia. </div>

Broomhouse Young Carers for their collaboration in projects we have run
for the younger members of our community.</div>

All
this could not have taken place without the commitment of our
therapists and volunteers with the support and guidance of our board of
trustees to whom we are forever grateful. Also our thanks goes out to
the funding bodies who have supported us over the last 3 years.</div>

For
those interested in accessing art therapy in Edinburgh we would suggest
looking at <a href="http://www.baat.org/" target="_blank">The British Association of Art Therapists website</a> to find the list of registered art therapists working in private practice in the area. </div>

<b><span style="color: #444444;"> When Narcissus Altered the Earth: Ecological Themes in Therapy</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Presenter</span> <span style="color: #444444;">Michael Wilson</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #444444;">Date: 2nd of March Venue: Eltham Suite -Eric Liddell Centre Time: 10-1pm</span></b><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Workshop Details</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">With the myth of Narcissus as our starting point, this exploration will consider meaning and purpose in relation to a view of human beings as a “planet altering species” (Brian Swimme). Crucially, the day will consider core ecological themes, such as our relationship with the natural world, and the challenge of listening to the “voices” of the earth (Theodore Roszak). We will also consider the psychological impact of environmental issues when presented in therapy, for instance, as grief, guilt, fear, anxiety, and so on, and the challenge of finding meaning in a rapidly changing world. A key focus for this day will be on how ecological themes come into therapy, and the way the therapist might recognise the often subtle nature of these, and address them.</span><br />
<i><span style="color: #444444;">This practical exploration will involve theoretical input, and discussion, and participants are requested to bring a dream containing a nature theme.</span></i><br />

The Life Tapestries workshop was born out of a desire to incorporate more creativity into my work of helping others gain clarity around their vocational identity. For many years I had counselled individuals who were striving for authenticity in their work lives, and although I loved the work, something was missing for me. I was wrestling with my own authenticity and needed to bring more creative expression to my work – for my clients as well as myself. Because I had a passion for textiles from an early age, it seemed like a natural fit to have fabrics, yarns, threads, trims, etc. be the media for personal exploration. I couldn’t help but think of the textile-related metaphors in our vernacular – “the patterns in our lives,” “the right fit,” “bursting at the seams,” “frayed nerves,” “the fabric of our lives,” “cut from the same cloth” – to name a few. So I designed a day-long workshop that invited individuals to explore an issue related to their vocation and other themes such as “defining moments” using textiles and a variety of fabric-related supplies. I have been a witness to countless stories and emotions that have found a voice through colors, textures, and patterns. Anger has been transformed, anxiety has been alleviated, and grief has found an outlet.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The creative process never ceases to amaze me and this was no less true at the weekend workshop in Edinburgh two weeks ago. As an outsider on sabbatical this semester, I felt privileged to have the opportunity to share my workshop with a group of art therapists. This was the first time I worked with a group of women who are all familiar with the power of the creative process and for whom it is the cornerstone of their work. Not surprisingly, the creative juices began to flow immediately, and the level of engagement was a sight to behold. Everyone worked individually, but the collective energy permeated the space and seemed to provide a container for that which was spoken as well as unspoken. Interestingly, some common images emerged. Stories were shared and questions for further discernment were posed. There is something very powerful about being vulnerable within the intimacy of a group, and I have tremendous respect for the willingness to open oneself to the process and see what emerges.</span></div>

The experience is another richly-textured piece to add to my own life tapestry. Thank you.</span><br />

The scope of these interests is encapsulated in the eclectic library of the Warburg Institute (which he founded) and in his unfinished 'Mnemosyne' project, an "art history without a text" as Warburg put it, in which he made constantly changing arrangements of reproductions of artworks attached to large panels. Warburg has become increasingly important to the study of visual culture, and the Mnemosyne Atlas has recently been described as "one of the most fascinating and enigmatic objects in contemporary art" (Philippe-Alain Michaud).</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For more event info, and to reserve free tickets, <a href="http://aby-warburg.eventbrite.co.uk/">click here</a> to visit the event page.</span><br />
