Integrating Plant Medicine & Creative Psychotherapy for Holistic Healing
A Transformative Integration
At Takinuna we recognize the profound synergy between plant medicine and creative psychotherapy. Our goal is to enhance the healing journey of participants by integrating our expert creative psychotherapist with the wisdom of experienced shamans.
The Healing Collaboration
Our creative psychotherapist collaborate closely with shamans to form a dynamic team dedicated to addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of participants. Together, they cultivate a supportive environment that leverages the transformative power of Ayahuasca visions to guide the healing process.
The Creative Process
Following each Ayahuasca session, participants engage in creative psychotherapy integration sessions. These sessions help you explore your visions, understand the insights gained from the ceremonies, and promote self-expression and reflection.
Beyond Words
A Visual Language: In moments where language falls short, art becomes a powerful form of communication. The visual language created through art-making serves as a bridge between the ineffable experiences of Ayahuasca visions and the understanding necessary for healing.
Self-Discovery
Capturing Ayahuasca visions and the emotions emerged in the ceremonies through art promotes personal growth and self-discovery. It empowers participants to explore the depths of their experiences.
Creative Psychotherapy, also known as art therapy, taps into the power of creativity and imagery for therapeutic processes. Expressing our inner states through colors, shapes, and symbols opens a gateway to profound self-expression. By emphasizing the art-making process over the final product, we explore emotions, thoughts, and feelings, fostering a deep connection with our emotional world.
Do I need to be an artist for Creative Psychotherapy?
Open to everyone, creative psychotherapy recognizes that creativity is inherent in all of us. Moreover, the focus is not on the resulting image; instead, it lies in the creation process, the emotions evoked, and the individual’s experience in engaging their inner self. In this way, creativity becomes a powerful medium for authentic self-expression during the therapeutic journey.
Therapeutic Potential
Extensive research supports creative psychotherapy as a valuable healing tool. By giving feelings a visual form, we access unconscious material that may remain hidden. The language of the unconscious is rooted in imagery, storing memories and past experiences.
The Brain on Art
Expressing ourselves through art engages both hemispheres of the brain. Creative psychotherapy allows emotions to flow, involving our entire being. Both conscious & unconscious; left & right brain; thoughts & emotions are involved in the process of art-making. This holistic engagement integrates mind, body, and creativity as a cohesive unit.
Environmental Art Therapy
Integrating Nature into the Creative Process
What is Environmental Art Therapy?
Environmental Art Therapy, also known as ecotherapy or nature-based art therapy, combines art therapy principles with a deep connection to nature. Engaging individuals in creative processes within natural settings or using natural materials promotes emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being.
Benefits of Environmental Art Therapy
Practitioners hold sessions in outdoor settings or bring natural elements indoors. Activities like drawing, painting, sculpting, or photography serve as avenues for self-expression, self-reflection, and personal growth.
