About PCA Expression Art Therapy Workshop

Do you have much time to give to your “self” in your busy daily life in Tokyo? Get closer to this "self", respect various things inside yourself, listen to the voice within you, and feel yourself in this half-day workshop. Express your “self” through art (we’ll be using crayons and clay in this workshop)!! No need to be “good at” art or have to “work hard”. Using as a basis the motto of the Person Centered Approach to therapy - "to respect people" - we will respect each individual in the group and offer a stress free atmosphere. With this kind of person centered group environment you will be able to participate in your own way and at your own pace in a psychologically safe and relaxed self-exploratory process.
