Participants of the master class will have the opportunity to use practical examples: to get acquainted with the main stages of the process of changing eating behavior and lifestyle; form ideas about what will help them lose weight; support the motivation to lose weight; draw up an individual program for correcting excess weight, develop a plan of specific actions without excess food intake.

    Veronika Turgel, Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences, Associate Professor, Institute of Special Pedagogy and Psychology (R. Wallenberg) and State University named after Pushkin, psychologist in private practice (St. Petersburg)

    The workshop is based on the possibility of using the archetypal and psychological meanings of clothing in the semantic fields of self-perception. Dress as a special type of women's clothing is always filled with rich emotional and associative content. This makes it possible to use the image of a dress for self-exploration of the woman's inner states and control over them. As a result of the master class, participants will be able to analyze the psychological content of associations with images of dresses from their personal experience; explore their current psychological state by working with photo-images of designer dresses; will form the image of the desired image of themselves with the help of the drawing "Dress of my dreams".

  • ASSOCIATIVE-PROJECTIVE CARDS "EMOTIONAL COLORS" AS A TOOL FOR PSYCHOLOGIST'S WORK
    Natalia Novikova, Cand. Psychol. Sciences, analytical psychologist in private practice, a freelance employee of the "Institute of Art Education and Cultural Studies of the Russian Academy of Education" (Moscow)

    The workshop is devoted to the phenomenon of color perception, realized through the use of associative-projective cards "Emotional Colors". Postcards are a collection of abstract compositions that can be used in the context of an active imagination technique. Associative-projective postcards "Emotional colors" can be used in a variety of ways: to analyze the emotional sphere of a person, work with projections and complexes, as well as for associative-sensory transformation. The phenomenology of color perception allows you to change feelings, provided that the color gamut of the projection changes.

It is thanks to them that the hero returns home safe and sound in order to continue to live, live and make good.
    So it is in the story of COVID-19, when after the illness begins to happen "strange", which now has the name "post-coid disorder."

PHOTOGRAPHY IN ART THERAPY AS A MEASURE OF GUIDANCE AND SELF-ASSURANCE WITH PATIENTS WITH APHASIA IN THE CONTEXT OF BRAIN TUMOR

In this lecture, art therapy interventions for brain tumor patient groups and their relatives illustrate the ambivalence of health and illness, art and therapy (expression and perception). The speaker will present an inclusive museum project which offers brain tumor patients and their relatives in a protected environment for cultural participation and coping with illnesses, thereby creating a bridge to participation in life.


MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME
Pamela Whitaker is a lecturer in art psychotherapy at the Belfast School of Art, Ulster University (Northern Ireland)
Chris McHugh is a lecturer in ceramics at the Belfast School of Art, Ulster University.
Lauren Kwant, Art Psychotherapy Trainee, Ulster University, Belfast School of Art.

The materials of home are something to hold on to in times of uncertainty. Our possessions are there for us in their arrangement and in their constancy. These may be heirlooms passed down from generation to generation, souvenirs which act as portals to treasured memories, or functional items whose use confers a sense of familiarity and domesticity. Their durability situates the past in the present, providing 'ontological security' (Olsen, 2010), while their display is an act of curation and material story-telling. This presentation is a co-production of the disciplines of art therapy and ceramics meeting in their object relations. At a time when our existence is becoming increasingly virtual, the home studio, or the home-as-studio, is a place where we increasingly find ourselves. The materiality of homecoming is our collections that live with us in their proximity, significance and commemorative potential. This interdisciplinary conversation will place the materials of our lives centre stage and argue that how we live with what we possess is integral to our comfort security and creativity (Miller, 2008).
11:15 - 14:00 SEMINAR №1
SURVIVING PANDEMIC: A HOLISTIC, CREATIVE-THERAPEUTIC PERSPECTIVE

As a long-term member of the Findhorn Foundation Community, she has contributed to many programs, and developed many applications of environmental/eco art therapy.

How somatic, nature and art-based self-care processes can be integrated with understanding archetypal aspects of our situation, with reference to traditional stories? The session will inspire participants to take a long view of our current situation and grasp moments of creative opportunity, mindfulness and personal benefit from a holistic response to, 'the wisdom of no escape' (Pema Chodron). It summarizes some points from the lecturer's presentation on the deep psychology of archetypal 'sorting tasks' relevant to aspects of lockdown and offers a demonstration of a way to work with story and somatics.

"WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME?"

Loring Kit is a UK-certified clinical arts therapist, clinical supervisor and trainer; member of the British Association of Drama Therapists; co-founder and co-director of the humanitarian art therapy organization Ragamuffin International (UK)


What is wrong with me? We expect so much from ourselves. We have to be efficient and effective - we MUST. We must prove our own worth and leave our mark. Our bodies work tirelessly to keep us healthy and safe. They send signals and if trouble happens, the body tries to support and heal us. Our stress response is a call, the body begs: "Don't do this, there will be trouble." Covid has left us no cure for the debilitating stress of isolation and loneliness.
What would be different if we could hear body signals? What response could be healing to the emotional, mental and physical stresses of our lives? I invite you to seek answers through creativity and creativity, which can also provide comfort and relief.
