Question 1

What is art therapy?

Accepted Answer

Art therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses creative expression as a way to explore emotions, reduce stress, and support personal growth. It’s not about making “good” art, but about the process of creating and reflecting.

Question 2

What is environmental art therapy?

Accepted Answer

Environmental art therapy brings this process into connection with the natural world. By creating with natural materials and engaging with nature through our senses, we can deepen reflection, release emotions, and reconnect with ourselves, others, and the environment around us.

Question 3

Where exactly in the park will we meet?

Accepted Answer

A detailed meeting point will be shared with you by email before the session. We’ll gather at a central, easy-to-find location and walk together to our quiet spot.

Question 4

Can I come to just one session?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You’re welcome to join a single session or both. Each stands alone, though attending both offers a deeper experience.

Question 5

Is it suitable if I’m going through a difficult time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These groups provide a supportive space to process emotions through art and nature. If you have specific concerns, feel free to reach out to the facilitators beforehand.

Question 6

What languages are spoken?

Accepted Answer

Sessions are guided in English. However, Emily speaks French and Katharina speaks German — and can offer support in those languages if needed.

Question 7

Are the sessions accessible?

Accepted Answer

If you have any accessibility needs, reach out to us — we’re happy to discuss how to support you.

Question 8

What should I bring?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable clothing for walking and sitting outdoors, a water bottle, and an open mind. We’ll provide the art materials, and refreshments.

Question 9

What happens if it rains?

Accepted Answer

We’ll keep an eye on the weather. In case of light rain, we may continue with adjustments (rain jackets, sheltered spots). If conditions make it impossible, we’ll reschedule or offer a credit.
