Art Therapy Walks
Creating art outdoors and walking to historic sites.
I am always touched by how creating art outdoors can directly relieve the human spirit.
Discover the transformative power of healing through art, Heart ♥ & Art Therapy, in nature and during a walk in historical places and monuments of Athens.
We explore the deep connection between creativity, the countryside and our past. We delve into the beauty of the natural world as we engage in therapeutic activities that nurture your well-being and revitalize your artistic expression. Release your inner artist and embark on a journey of self-awareness, healing and personal growth, through the harmonious combination of art and the serene atmosphere of nature.
Art is more than just expression, it is a human need that connects us to our inner truth and wisdom. Art can reach the heart in a respectful and safe manner when words are not enough.

Group Art Therapy
In group Art Psychotherapy we create and share. We explore different topics that connect us, inspire us or make it difficult for us.

The Heart & Art therapy program allows a space for healing through creative interaction and exploration.
The emphasis is on emergence, expression and self-awareness.The main idea of this collaboration is to interact with the communities in the Kiosk network and share tools for creative expression through art therapy, group workshops and close with an art exhibition of all the creations made.

Trust Heart ♥ & ART Therapy
Creation
With my hands and my whole body as a creative guide I connect with the unconscious and retrieve my images and symbols; I interpret them physically, mentally, psychically and emotionally and enrich my sense of self.
Self knowledge
I shed light on my inner world, discover and accept my unexplored aspects. I go into the source of my relational, emotional and behavioral patterns and transform them.
Relationships
I understand my personal life story in relation to the others and my loved ones, I strengthen the way of coexistence through the acceptance of myself and the diverse ways of being.
