Today we explored being in relationship with anger Today we explored being in relationship with anger - what activates it, the story we tell ourselves about it, the emotions underneath the anger, where we feel it in our body, how we reacted and how we might respond differently next time. In between, we walked with Blue, spent time in the field and appreciated the remaining colours of fall. We are welcoming new clients. #equineassistedtherapy #angermanagement #psychotherapy

I am a firm believer that occasionally getting out I am a firm believer that occasionally getting out of your comfort zone helps us expand our horizons beyond the everyday. For me getting out of my comfort zone means travelling alone, making art, and sharing the outcome. Recently I travelled to the Flow Country and northern edge of Scotland to engage in an art retreat with a group of women who also came from away. We worked with gouache (like water colour paint) - a medium I’ve never used before. The invitation was to paint our response to the land we were immersed in. I appreciated the layers, colours, and textures present in the bog. An invitation to look closer. I asked guest presenter and senior researcher Roxane Anderson, who was involved in making Forsinard Flow a UNESCO site, how she would describe the spirit of the bog.  She shared that from a distance the bog appeared as an elderly woman dressed in brown, but as you looked closer - you noted that she was covered in jewels. That description inspired my paintings. What does getting out of your comfort zone look like for you? #peatlands #scotland #forsinard #art #retreat
