Aziza's Toronto art therapy class and workshop
creative self-discovery and gentle eco vacations for women, couples, families and groups

When was the last time you got out of your head long enough to actually see? In our Art & Therapy workshops you get to express yourself with a medley of art materials such as paint, clay, collage and found objects.

Imagine abandoning yourself to non-verbal communication through colour, shape, and texture. In small group discussions and using simple Gestalt therapy techniques, we explore the jewels of insight you've just excavated through your creation.

Gestalt therapy focuses on your awareness of being right here right now, and your ability to respond authentically. Can you use some entertaining practice? Aziza’s instructor, Laila Ghattas, will guide the class in Expressive Art projects that will unveil new ways of looking at yourself and your way of being.

No previous art-making experience is necessary. Just bring an open mind and art making attire and a sense of adventure. Aziza’s workshops and classes are located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Click here to read a workshop review.

Here's what's been said about our Art & Therapy workshops and classes:

"Working with Laila and the arts to continue my self realization is Truly Madly Deeply a gift that I am so grateful for. I have done two workshops now and would recommend anyone who is looking for self insight to join her for an evening of fun and challenge!"

"To be shown that what we create in our ART has so much to say to about who we are and what is going on in our present lives is incredible. Laila has the gift to interpret what we have created to an "alarming" accuracy that still amazes me."

Individualized art therapy sessions in Toronto using Gestalt principles.
 Toronto Studio art therapy workshop

Toronto Studio art therapy class
In her studio office in Toronto, Laila Ghattas offers Individual and Couples Gestalt therapy, Expressive Art or Reiki sessions.

Gestalt therapy is a psychotherapy that is practical, accessible, and promotes self-acceptance and self-support. In the hour long sessions clients will develop a heightened awareness of how they are in this world and from that awareness can begin to consider options that more appropriately reflect their genuine response to their environment.

Art lends itself perfectly to the Gestalt therapy process. Occasionally including art materials in a therapy session can add a playful component to the therapeutic process. Clients are supported with the use of materials like clay or paint which enables tactile and non-verbal expression of their feelings. Therapeutic art inevitably leads to fresh insights and provides concrete reinforcement for awareness. Creative self-expression is particularly satisfying for clients without art training because their inner selves are successfully, articulately communicated regardless of skill level or intention.

Reiki, specifically the Usui System of Natural Healing, is a Japanese form of hands on healing. It is body work that promotes awareness of how and where emotions are stored in the body. Through heightened awareness and release of these old emotions, you are left with more space to incorporate healing ways and choices in your life and perspective.
