Ugly Art Therapy Group for Women

Release. Create. Heal.

Starts October 13th, 2025 | Brea, CA | 5:30 - 7 PM | 6 Weeks of Creative Healing & Connection

Do you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, racing thoughts, or feeling like you’re never enough?

This 6-week group offers a safe, supportive space for women to explore art as a powerful way to process emotions, release perfectionism, and reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been hidden or silenced.

Through guided ‘ugly art’ exercises, somatic awareness, and gentle reflection, you’ll practice being seen, heard, and accepted—both by yourself and by the group.

No art experience required — just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to make “ugly” art that speaks truth.

What You’ll Experience Each Week

Week 1 – Permission to Be Ugly

  • Let go of perfectionism through messy, playful art.

  • Build trust in the group and practice being witnessed without judgment.

Week 2 – Listening to Your Body

  • Use art to express what you feel in your body.

  • Explore gentle ways to release tension and stress through color, texture, and movement.

Week 3 – Meeting the Inner Critic

  • Externalize your inner critic by creating your own “ugly monster.”

  • Learn how this part of you tries to protect you — and begin to respond with compassion.

Week 4 – Reconnecting with the Inner Child

  • Rediscover joy, play, and spontaneity through childlike art.

  • Create a safe space for your inner child and practice kindness toward her.

Week 5 – Exploring Your Protectors

  • Identify the protective roles you rely on (like people-pleasing, overworking, or shutting down).

  • Create art that symbolizes these protectors and reflect on what they truly need.

Week 6 – Spirit-Leadership & Spiritual Integration

  • Explore what it means to be led by God’s wisdom and love rather than fear or self-doubt.

  • Create a final piece of art that symbolizes your connection to God and celebrates your growth.

  • Reflect on how you can carry this sense of guidance and compassion into daily life.

  • Create a final piece of art that celebrates your resilience and growth.
