This workbook was my introduction into the concept of art as a tool for healing. I have been in support group type settings before where we would talk about feelings or we would write about feelings. Because I enjoy doing both, I thought both were excellent ways to get at the root of some deep seated issues.
However, I turned 40 and still felt this nagging at my soul that something still was not right. Like I was walking around in the world broken. I love GOD and consider this relationship my most important one. And yet, something was not right.
Enter Mending the Soul, an organization that offers support groups all around the world and uses art and poetry and music coupled with discussion and writing to get at the deeper things from a different angle. This UNSTUCK ME...
After I got past telling my story in a way I always told it, the work began. Surprising...heartmending...Cleansing...I came out of this experience OPEN TO a different life.
P.S. when you check out the website, your first impression is that the group is geared toward domestic violence survivors. I ASSURE you this WAS NOT my issue. My issues were geared around childhood neglect and relationships with men. The website will help you locate a group in your area.
