Dr. Selma Ciornai, from Instituto Sedes Sapientiae in São Paulo, leads an art therapy workshop for post-graduate Gestalt therapy students. In a cozy space filled with art supplies, pillows, and scarves, participants explore symbolic languages and personal stories. Through relaxation and guided visualization, students revisit meaningful childhood tales, recalling vivid details and emotional connections. Each student creates two drawings—one of a significant character and another of a pivotal scene from their story. These heartfelt images and narratives are shared in a safe and supportive environment, fostering deep insights and connections. The session highlights the transformative power of imagination, creativity, and gentle guidance. It concludes with joyful moments of childhood songs and laughter, celebrating growth and intimacy.
