Creativity As Healing: Expressing What Words Cannot

With Teresa McLean

Creativity is not about talent or perfection. It is a language of the soul — a way of expressing what words alone cannot hold. In this 6-part course, you’ll be guided to rediscover creativity as a natural pathway to self-expression, nervous system regulation, and healing. Together we’ll explore: - Why creativity sometimes feels blocked when we’re dysregulated — and how safety makes space for play. - How structured creativity, like colouring or following patterns, can be a gentle doorway into flow. - The freedom of focusing on process over product, letting go of perfection. - How play and joy can become medicine for the body and spirit. - Simple daily rituals that weave creativity into everyday life. Each lesson includes a gentle teaching and a guided practice you can try right away. You don’t need any art supplies, special skills, or experience — only a willingness to explore and express.
