Creating to reconnect — The MARY experiences
I recently completed my Art therapy training, an inspiring, rich, deeply human adventure that has profoundly shaped the way I approach creativity and connection.
Through this journey, I explored the power of listening, presence, a safe and clear framework, and how creative processes can bring movement where things feel stuck.
From that experience was born MARY : a series of creative experiences, simple and accessible to everyone, designed as spaces for reconnection to self.
The MARY spirit
MARY workshops are neither art classes nor therapy sessions.
They are creative well-being experiences, where materials, colors, and words become gentle pathways back to oneself.
Each session is built around four essentials :
- a caring welcome and genuine attention to each person’s rhythm,
- simple creative protocols that free expression,
- a clear structure that reassures and allows you to dare,
- guided reflections to put words on what emerged during creation.
Exploring through different mediums
Depending on the moment, you might paint, sculpt clay, collage, write, or draw a mandala or zentangle.
Each medium opens a different door :
- painting for movement and spontaneity,
- clay modeling for grounding and body connection,
- collage for recomposing your inner landscape,
- mandalas or zentangles for calm and unity,
- writing to release and clarify through words,
- and two personal concepts I created : time capsules and liberation capsules, as sensitive traces left to oneself.
No artistic skills required — only curiosity and the desire to explore.
These experiences are open to everyone : the curious, the tired, the enthusiastic, and the hesitant alike.
What it is not
MARY is not psychoanalysis, nor diagnosis.
I don’t position myself as a therapist in a clinic, but as a facilitator of creative experiences.
The goal is not to “heal”, but to cultivate well-being, to rediscover breath, lightness, and inner freedom through simple creative gestures.
A clear intention
My intention is crystal clear:
To offer a space for reconnection through creation — with gentleness, structure, and freedom.
A space to breathe, to explore, to transform.
Because through color, clay, words, or collage, we rediscover ourselves differently.
And as I like to say :
We can’t change the past, but we can transform the matter of the present.
