LIVE! Monthly Dialogues with Arts
Monthly Dialogues with Arts (shortly MDWA) started by Sarah Chu and Joanna Wróblewska in 2019, was initially an ongoing series of expressive arts workshops for anyone, who was willing to explore their personal narratives through art-making. In September 2021, we changed the framework and, for the first time, offered this unique virtual time-space only to those, who practice expressive arts regularly and would like to deepen their self-knowledge, open up even more to the insights brought by the arts, and learn together about the creative process. This group is a constantly evolving construct. Please consider joining us in the future! Now, we are expanding our MDWA practice to brand-new face-to-face groups!
We continue virtual MDWA explorations in an online group for experienced expressive arts practitioners and a LIVE! MDWA group for beginners in Antwerp, Belgium (see information below).
Season 2022/23
In January 2023, we have opened our first MDWA LIVE! group. Please join us at our new pop-up location at Emagine Center, located at Paardenmarkt 65, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium.
in this small and intimate MDWA group, we will spend three months focusing on three different aspects of mental self-care and burnout prevention. In January, we will focus on softness, in February on slowness, and in March on kindness. In each session, we will guide you through a step-by-step process, in which we will explore together the above-mentioned themes.
As expressive arts workshops are for everyone, please remember that we only ask you for openness and curiosity. No other skills are required. All art materials will be included, and we will encourage you to bring a notebook to follow up on your process. Whatever you come with into this group will be confidential and received with respect.
We will be thrilled to meet you in person!
