Somatic Art

I have over 20 years of experience in fine arts and am now integrating that into my coaching practice to foster deeper self-connection for my clients. I believe that art transcends language, facilitating a more somatic understanding of emotions and values.

Recently, I experimented with using colour to help a client identify their core values through completing a colour wheel, exploring different tonalities and their personal significance. This exercise was enjoyable for my client, they saw a deeper need for daily connection to their values, via this experience. However as I look back, knowing what I now know, I sense that my approach was too cerebral.

To enhance my method, I am now focusing on grounding and engaging more instinctively with colours, allowing for a more embodied experience. I find this exploration exciting and hope to support others in using somatic art as a means of connecting more deeply with themselves. My journey reflects a shift towards a more intuitive and playful interaction with art in my coaching.

Somatic Artwork, Ensure you are very grounded, scan your inner body to begin to experience it, then begin to paint. This can be an guided exercise to connect to a goal, or a creative exercise to support getting "un-stuck".
