Home of Healing
Art Therapy
|
Home of Healing provides a safe and immersive environment for self-discovery, reflection, rejuvenation and empowerment. This initiative captures the idea of home as a space for respite and rest, a space that reflects our state of mind and holds our vitalities, memories, and true self. Just like the exterior and interior design/look of the home that goes through transformation in different seasons in our life, healing is also an ongoing journey.
At Home of Healing, you can visit The Main Space for art-based experientials followed by The Couch Space for reflection or further enquiries. At each space, there will be art therapists/ art therapy trainees present to journey with you. |
The Main Space
At The Main Space, you will be attuned to your needs and pace, and get to experience one to four different therapeutic art activities in an interactive environment. You can indulge in any one activity to create and connect with your creative soul. You can also immerse yourself in the space to rest, appreciate, or contemplate.
Safe Space/ Rest
What does safe space mean for you? Space can be both physical and psychological. Through this activity, discover what your safe space feels and looks like by creating with a range of nature-inspired materials.
|
Grief and Loss
We experience grief and loss in every season of life. It can be a very personal and challenging feeling that is hard to put words to. Honouring it with a form may help us understand and embrace our grief.
|
M-A-C-D-U
M-A-C-D-U refers to Moods, Anxiety, Chaos, Disorders, and Unknown. These emotions/feelings are not unfamiliar to us. How do we cope with them when they knock at our door sometimes? Explore how art can be an avenue for care and self-care that holds space for our MACDU!
|
Growing Seeds
What are the seeds in you waiting to sprout and grow? Art helps us to remember times when we are feeling good, strong, and powerful. Cultivate gratitude, esteem, and rediscover your strength through the creative process.
|
The Couch Space
Each creative encounter in art therapy is a unique experience with the self and others. It opens a window or a doorway to the soul allowing us to see, listen, touch, and feel ourselves. At The Couch Space, you will be able to take your time or step back to look at your creative experiences with a different perspective under the guidance of certified art therapists. In this space, you can also let your curiosity lead you to explore more about art therapy, wellness, wellbeing, and healing.

Mindfulness | Sound Bath
DESTRESS and RE-ENERGISE with Mindful movements and Sound bath
|
If you think that ‘mindfulness’ or ‘meditation’ are boring stuff or required only when problem arises, think again.
Mindfulness can be fun, and a necessary tool for your daily life. It can help you become more aware of what is going on internally and externally. It focuses your mind in the present moment without judgment or attachment, and helps you accept and embrace the varying emotions you experience. It reminds us that it is OKAY not to be okay at times. Join Hui Lee and Michele to improve your well-being by incorporating ‘OKAY’ into your daily life through mindful movements and sound bath session. |
