Presentation by Julie Ranna

Art4Healing’s mission is to support emotional healing through art and creative expression for those living in pain, grief, fear or stress. We want to introduce you to a new way of painting to help you express yourself creatively. This is called the Art4Healing Method. This is a creative language without painting words, or pictures-it is the language of painted colors on canvas. This method is a quick way for you to paint from your heart instead of thinking too much from your mind. We encourage you to be spontaneous and not try to paint a traditional picture-just use colors! Art4Healing was founded with a vision that the creative process and emotional healing often intersect when words are not adequate, and pain is too deep. The Art4Healing® method allows participants to learn a new way of communicating through color that encourages emotional breakthroughs and further enhances the therapy process. Two-hour workshops are available to address many different issues and topics: Expressing your feeling with color, Stress, Grief, Betrayal, Disappointment and Loss, Painting Prayer, Anger, Broken Promises, Compassion Fatigue, Expressing your Faith in Color.
