Art-based Values Coaching
Values + Visions Half-Day Coaching Program
In just 3 meaningful hours you can weave into a regular week, you will do a values cards sort process, engage in written exercises, create an artistic collage—no flipping through magazines and slapping a bunch of inspirational words on a piece of paper—you will take with you, and have a focused discussion with your seasoned and trained facilitator to clarify what your core values and how they can be used to build or re-build a life of meaning and satisfaction, making no-brainer choices to serve your true self, not who other people may want you to be. We will assess how in tune your life is with the values you uncover. Taking a coaching approach informed by the tools of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I will help you make a plan to better integrate what is most meaningful to you into all the domains of your life—work/education, relationships, leisure, and health/wellness—by setting achievable goals that reflect the values that need manifesting most right now.
If you are familiar with the concept of Vision Boarding, you probably know how helpful it can be to use the medium of collage to focus you on what matters to you and motivate you to achieve your goals. Values boarding is similar, but dips into your unconscious to locate and express what truly, deeply matters to you before your mind has a chance to shoot it down with all its arguments for how those things are unreachable for you. Through the process of collaging and exploring your art this way, you will learn about what may be missing for you and what is needed to enhance or change the life you're living to become a values-centered one. Your connection to the choices and activities already in your life that reflect core values will be strengthened.
The idea is to focus on the values that animate your life with meaning
and motivate you to become the person you want to be.
You may choose to deepen and extend your experience by becoming a counseling and/or art therapy client, with the opportunity to use additional mind-body practices and art interventions beyond the scope of one session, but your Values and Visions session is designed to be a stand-alone opportunity to jumpstart a new approach to your life using insights gleaned from a focused creative experience with a trained art therapist.
Why commit to open-ended therapy when what you need is a jumpstart and a strategy to revamp your life based on deep connection to authentic values? At a value of $500 ($450=3 regular therapy sessions with me + art materials and a specially formulated 3 hour program of art-making and coaching), this session is offered to you at just $400.
