Healing Arts for Adults

Healing Arts for Adults

This program not only benefits the individuals directly, but also benefits their friends, families, and communities through the ripple effect of healing.

Overview

Through SafeArt’s Healing Arts for Adults programming, we work with femme-identified folks who have experienced trauma and other challenges in their lives. We support their desire to heal and assist each participant in finding their individual path to healing.

We support adults to:
  • Hold a safe container to explore challenging issues related to abuse, trauma, identity, addiction, illness, self-worth.
  • Address social-emotional issues that come up in their lives.
  • Help identify triggers and develop healthy tools and strategies to respond to them.
  • Create a safe supportive space where everyone can bring their authentic whole selves for support and healing.
Modalities SafeArt utilizes include:
  • Mindfulness, yoga, movement practices
  • Visual art projects, creative writing, dramatic expression
  • Creative ways to connect us to each other
  • Dynamic discussions
  • Games & Play
  • Healthy eating
  • Self-care and stress relief
  • Breath work
  • Plant healing
  • Music
  • Meditation
  • Journaling

HAICU - Healing Arts Imaginative Care Unit - Chelsea VT.

This group meets every Wednesday during the daytime. It is an intimate small group for adult femme-identified folks who have
experienced trauma or are having difficulty coping with their daily lives for any number of reasons. This can include simple and complex life challenges in relationships, care of  loved ones, employment, finances, and emotional or spiritual issues.

This is not a drop-in group. While we understand that things come up in life we ask that all group members be committed to arriving on time and attending and participating each week.

If you are interested in bringing any of these types of groups to your area or facility please contact our office at 802-685-3138.
