Good afternoon everyone and hope the day or night is going well 🙃🙂 As for me I just wanted to share about 3 days worth of anxiety 😩…. Pushing through and keeping the faith 🖼️ 💞

Just wanted to say good morning everyone and may we all have a wonderful day 🖼️ 🎨 💞✍🏽

I’m so glad you’re here! This community was created as a gentle space for emotional expression, creativity, and growth. You don’t need to be “good at art.” You don’t need special supplies. You don’t need to share anything you’re not ready to share. All you need is honesty and a willingness to explore. Here’s what this space is about: ✨ Using simple creative exercises to process emotions ✨ Building self-awareness through art and reflection ✨ Feeling less alone in what you carry ✨ Growing at your own pace Here’s what this space is NOT: • A place for judgment or criticism • A competition • Clinical therapy • Pressure to perform You are always invited — never forced — to share your creations or reflections. Silent participation is completely valid. Before you begin, introduce yourself below: ✨ Your name ✨ What drew you here ✨ What do you expect from this community Thank you for being part of this founding circle. We’re building something meaningful together. Let’s create. Let’s feel. Let’s grow. 🎨💛 Here is my 5-mitute drawing after I had an idea of opening this community.

🌿 Let's welcome @Mindy Stevens @Chaza Nahra @Naureen ONeale @Marcia Zwilich @Abigain Johnson To get started: ✅️ Introduce yourself (name/nickname, what brings you here) in the comments to this post or in the pinned post. ✅️ Try a prompt from the Prompts of the Week section (we have 9 so far). These exercises are usually simple and don’t require fancy materials. ✅️ Share one small piece of art or a sentence about how you’re doing today. 🌸 Also, when you reach level 2, you can check the classroom for some materials. There is an Art Journal you can download and start filling it up (at your own pace). Also, I started posting simple drawing lessons. The first Simple Pattern lesson is already there. 🎨 If you need anything, ask — we’re here to support each other. Welcome to The Art Therapy community
