This will be an interactive, creative session! Do join in with us and experience the power of creative supervision.
We understand ‘supervision’ to be a reflective process, considering aspects of our professional work, or ourselves as practitioners. Insights may be gained that enhance our practice.
Today we will engage with a couple of creative processes. Bring along an open mind and a willingness to ‘have a go’. The rest will unfold. We look forward to meeting you.
To make the most of this experiential, creative session, please bring along a creative kit of your own:
· Quiet, private space
· Your imagination
· Selection of paper or card in different colours, sizes and maybe even textures
· Selection of crayons, pencils and pens
· Plasticine (or clay, playdoh etc)
· Pen/pencil and writing paper or journal
