The way we art

Identity is a key connection as a human being. Recently I started to practice Chinese calligraphy again. With every stroke and character bringing out a lot of memories. It has become a way to connect with things that I may have lost after I moved to . I reflected upon the meaning of each Chinese characters as I write and meditated. It is not the beauty of character construction itself, but the wise meanings behind each character. For these two words: - human; - be b...orn, fresh, lively. When they are combined together they become life. They are only 7 strokes in total, and they look fragile. Unlike some other characters which takes up a lot of space and many strokes, like the character itself (such as Dragon). I am amazed in the wisdom that the ancient Chinese possessed in transforming our everyday life objects into the forms and meanings in the Chinese character system. I wish to dive into the dictionary to re-discover the meaning of each Chinese characters. As an art therapist, we support each life/client delicately and gently because we every person is precious and sacred. Art-making is not only a self-care activity for me, but also a reflection of life journeying together with my clients and myself.

What can you do to calm yourself just within 10 minutes? I really enjoy this mindfulness writing exercise. I wrote my favorite quote in Chinese, I can see my writing is getting bolder and larger. It feels like the quotes are embedded into my body now ................................ 10 mindfulness : mindfulness See more

It's an honor to share my experiences as a Chinese art therapist on A1 Chinese radio! Thank you BrokerTeam Insurance offered me this opportunity. #arttherapist #chinesearttherapist #chinesecanadian #arttherapyjourney #arttherapy #NewNormalBusiness

Today I am very excited and filled with hope. It has been a crazy few weeks with re-branding our logo, preparing for the art therapy radio interview on A1 , and planning the upcoming expressive art workshops for the Cantonese and Mandarin speaking community. I would like to introduce our new logo design. I designed this new logo to reflect on my art therapy work and Joseph's spiritual direction with our clients. The art therapist, like a good enough mother, is alwa...ys providing a safe space for the client to explore themselves. The client is exploring their true self or their inner child during the therapy session and the art making process. Our inner child and true essence is always a part of who we are and our identity. The inner child and the most vulnerable part of us which can only be seen when there is a safe and trusted space for them to open up. In Spiritual Direction, this is also a sacred space where we listen to the leading of the Spirit. The Spiritual Director acts as a midwife, holding this trusted, non-judgmental space with holy hospitality, waiting for new awakenings to the presence of God to be born. We are honour to work with our clients and to continue to journey with them. We hope to share more our experiences and reflection here
