About The Healing Brush

Eco-art therapy is the blend of art therapy practices in an eco therapy setting, utilizing the natural resources at hand to create. It’s a creative process that makes nature not only cathartic, but therapeutic. It’s not only about feeling calm in nature, it’s about taking it a step further. Nature creates a sense of calm – it’s easier to settle out everything that’s going on in your brain - allowing you to get to a place of processing emotions. Feelings come to the surface and Nature can help us make sense of feelings. Creating art in a natural space can assist in this process, emotions can be externalized, which opens the door to processing feelings. Using foraged and found art materials connects us further to the environment and reminds us that we have an inherent connection to the natural world.
