As part of All Together Now, a year-long programme supporting artists and creative practitioners to develop their skills, confidence and practice, Wild Dandelion is delivering a series of six Reflective Practice sessions for participating artists and trainees.
Led by Creative Arts Psychotherapists from Wild Dandelion, the sessions offer dedicated time to pause, reflect and connect with others. Across the year, we’ll explore themes including beginnings, boundaries, uncertainty, relationships, learning and endings.
Using creative and interactive approaches, each session creates space to think about the experiences and challenges of creative practice, share learning and develop tools for more sustainable ways of working.
