Creativity and Play Session (Online)

The creative sessions are a space to disconnect. Imagine them as passing through a portal where you disconnect from the problems you are going through, the worries of the moment and the everyday, in order to connect with your essence, with your inner child, with your emotions.

Yes, inevitably issues about your current life will come up because ultimately, with the creative session, we seek to cleanse anxieties, the things that make you uncomfortable; but it will always be with the aim of finding more calm, more presence, and expanding your capacity to find solutions, to relate better with your environment, and why not, to discover parts of yourself that you didn't know or to reconnect with those you had forgotten.

Each session is completely adapted to your needs, to you as a person, and will vary from session to session. That is the beauty of play and creativity. For each session, I might ask you to do something different, and it will depend on you how many sessions you need and how often. Sometimes, just one session might even be enough for you.

Just to give you an idea, the class is always divided into three parts:

• Beginning: We make the transition from the everyday world to this space of creativity and play, with different liberation tools. It works like a small cleansing, to release and let go of tensions. Sometimes it can involve movement, other times writing, breathing, or visualization. Sometimes it can be a mix of movement and static.
• Development: Here we begin the period of maximum expression. I will be a guide in your process. This is the longest part of the session and probably the most intense as well. Unexpected emotions and answers you might not have known to questions you may be having can emerge. In this phase, we literally use any form of creativity, whether it's drawing, dancing, writing, sculpting, or creating with things we have at home. It will also depend on the materials one has at home. And you can also find imagination games, some art therapy techniques, and even a bit of laughter therapy.
• Closing: We process all the information, bringing closure by returning to calm, with breathing techniques, planting a seed for what comes in your week or month.

Duration: Between 1 and 1.5 hours.

How it works: Once the session is paid for, you will receive an email, and I will contact you so we can jointly decide on the most suitable day for your session. (If you are sure you want to book more than one session, I recommend buying the pack directly to save a little extra).

Frequently asked questions:

• Do I need any creative experience or skill?
  No, absolutely not. An essential part of these sessions is to remind you that creativity is within you, as it is in all of us.
• Do I have to spend money on materials?
  Not necessarily. Ideally, we will use materials you already have at home. Sometimes, even a notebook and a pencil are enough. If not, we will create materials with things we can find anywhere for free (leaves, flowers, stones, water mixed with something, etc.). However, if you feel attracted to a certain type of material like watercolors, or crochet, or a musical instrument, and you've been thinking about buying it for a while, this could be a good opportunity; but again, it is not necessary or a requirement to have a creative session.
• Do I need to do more than one session for it to be effective?
  The more sessions you do, the easier it will be to notice any changes or differences in your mood, relationships, and connection to your inner and outer world. However, it is not mandatory, and sometimes people are satisfied with just one session, or they choose to do one a month, and that is enough.
• Does this work as a class for a specific creative skill?
  No, what these sessions seek is to connect with your creative side so that you can apply it in different areas of your life. If, as a consequence, you improve at painting, dancing, or whatever we are using as a tool, that's amazing, but these sessions are not started with that expectation.
• If I am in Italy, specifically in the Ravenna area and surroundings, can I book an in-person session?
  Absolutely. It should be noted that in-person sessions cost a bit more because I provide all the materials.
• Who can I contact if I have more questions?
