The objective of this activity was to explore and recognize the benefits and emotional and psychic strengthening that the therapeutic treatment of Art Therapy has managed to flourish in the participant's life.
In this way, we started the workshop, by reading the music:
I'm rereading my work, my soul,
My loves
I'm reviewing my life, my struggle,
my values
Rebuilding my strength, my sources,
My values […]
I'm cleaning my house
Writing my letters, my beginning,
My way,
I'm pruning my garden
I'm taking care of myself […]
My Garden – Vander Lee
