Group Therapy

Group Art Therapy fosters opportunities for personal and communal growth within a supportive, inspiring, and nurturing environment. Group members are provided with opportunities to explore their artmaking process and strengths, delve into themes and values that are meaningful to them, and connect with the experiences of others. In Group Art Therapy, you are encouraged to engage in the creative process at your own pace, receiving support from both peers and the Art Therapist. Nectar has facilitated groups within community centres, museums, councils, schools, and private organisations.

While sharing your personal journey with the group is optional, opportunities to exchange ideas and reflections with others around your artmaking experience are always offered and supported. Art Therapists helps to foster a safe and respectful space, offering insights into group interactions as they develop. Group Art Therapy nurtures a sense of belonging and community and reminds us that although we may feel lonely in our experiences, we are rarely alone. 

Gutter Group: A monthly, online Open Studio group for storytellers

In the Open Studio Art Therapy format, you’ll have the freedom to engage in creative processes at your own pace, exploring and developing your creations with minimal direction. Whether your passion lies in comics, creative writing, songwriting, poetry, scriptwriting, or any storytelling art form, Gutter Group provides a flexible, person-centered, and supportive space where you can immerse yourself and workshop your craft.

In comics, gutters are the spaces between images where the reader's imagination fills in the gaps. They represent ongoing, incomplete, and evolving narratives. At Gutter Group, we celebrate our gutters and the unique art of the storytelling process.

Embrace the gaps and let your stories flow. We can’t wait to see what you create! All ages welcome. Enquire today to join the current group.
