Grief Art 101
Art for the grief journey ahead - beginners welcome!
“Grief is a process.”
When you hear that, how do you feel?
-
Why did no one tell me this before?!
-
Overwhelmed and afraid to start
-
Unsure how you feel and how to proceed
-
Ready to tackle that process - and feel better
In order to move forward in your grief journey, you have to start with where you're at.
In this mini-course, I’ll help you discover:
-
Your starting point - where you’re at in your grief
-
Your personal roadmap - vision and goals how you want to heal and grow
All the while we'll be using ART as a metaphor and tool for our grief journey.
And guess what? No previous art experience is necessary.

Important - please read:
I (Danica) am not a licensed art therapist. I teach art as a therapeutic tool for recovery from grief. The difference is subtle, but important. This mini-course is not meant to give a medical diagnosis, nor is it a substitute for mental health treatment. This course is for self-reflection and self-help only. It's like the equivalent of picking up a self-help book for a topic you want to grow in.
This course can be taken on your own, or in conjunction with counseling. There is no shame in asking for some extra help - I've benefited from counseling too! To find a licensed therapist near you, please visit: https://www.counseling.org.
If you are in crisis, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. "The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones," according to their website. Your life is precious and worth saving.
Q: what brings you here?
Hello, dear one. My intention is to welcome you, but I realize that grief is the journey you never wanted to be on. I'm so sorry for the loss (or losses) that got you here.
