Experience a transformative journey of self-discovery and healing at the Art League of Long Island’s one-day retreat. Guided by art therapist Brittany Colasanto ATR-BC, LCAT of Good Samaritan University Hospital and Rachel Woelfel, a recent art therapy graduate working toward certification, this immersive retreat blends movement, meditation, and art-making to nurture your mind, body, and spirit.
Begin the day with gentle breathing and stretching exercises, provided by yoga instructor Kelly Albanese Scherer of Good Samaritan University Hospital, to center yourself. Transition into guided art sessions exploring both additive and subtractive techniques, including ceramic sgraffito and negative watercolor painting with art instructors Amy Tischler and Lorraine Rimmelin. These creative processes invite you to release what no longer serves you and embrace what supports your healing and growth.
The retreat concludes with a mantra-making exercise and a group meditative moment, fostering a sense of calm and clarity. No prior art experience is needed—just bring an open heart.
What to Bring:
– Comfy clothing suitable for movement.
– A yoga mat, beach towel, or blanket (you’ll be seated/lying on the gallery floor, which can get cold).
– Optional: A small pillow for under your head or knees for added comfort.
Take the time to reset, rejuvenate, and leave with a renewed sense of peace and purpose.
