The Art of Healing

Welcome to the Humannis deck – a place of creativity, therapeutic making and recovery. If you are looking to start your own personal healing journey, are in need of creative and emotional prompt resources for your professional therapy practice, or are looking for tailored therapeutic art workshops for community groups, staff wellbeing or training. Welcome!

The benefits of art making for healing

Therapeutic art can help give people the space and agency to explore emotional issues and traumatic experiences through making. Allowing individuals and groups to spontaneously create works that relate to their emotional or social life that may be hard to express through words alone. Holistically made art also has the capacity to bring about emotional healing, encouraging wellbeing and positive mental health which can radiate from artist in the studio, to audience, to community, and to culture.

For everyone using art as a tool for their healing and recovery journey – I hope you find something helpful in these pages.
