Art as Self-Care for Christians in Ministry

The calling to work in ministry is rewarding and beautiful, but our hearts can get heavy if we do not engage with Jesus in his invitation for rest.

In Matthew 11:28-30 Jesus says:

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

In my two hour workshop, I will lead your staff or volunteers through:

  • One guided art-making process engaging prayer and reflection

  • Review and discussion of the role of art in worship and ministry using a biblical foundation

  • Brief education on contemporary neuroscience of restorative art making

  • Information and application of new ways to engage in rest and self-care using art

Invite me to host a workshop!

Times and prices may be flexible to the needs of your organization.

Disclaimer:

While my workshops use art therapy principles, they are not art therapy. Art therapy requires a therapeutic relationship and seeks to accomplish specific therapeutic goals, agreed upon by both client and therapist.
