Creative, artistic, and well-being space
What does art therapy do to our bodies?
It strengthens the connection between body and mind.
The creative and artistic path is based on direct contact with materials and the act of creation itself.
It leads to a conscious awareness of one’s bodily sensations, emotions, and the energies that arise during the creative process.
Resonance-Lascaux colors, made from luminous natural pigments and enriched with sage oil specially developed for manual work, offer a deeply sensory experience and an immediate connection to oneself and one’s feelings.
They awaken joy and curiosity.
Working with clay or soapstone also stimulates creative energy and leaves traces that reflect an inner dimension of being human.
This approach strengthens the connection between body, mind, and soul.
Engaging with shapes, colors, and natural materials brings us back to the essence of who we are.
The resulting works are both vibrant and profound — they carry the imprint of the inner process of transformation and act in daily life as a reminder and a source of strength.
The creative process connects us with our emotions, values, and needs, and enhances our ability to make more conscious choices.
In doing so, it creates a positive dynamic of well-being that radiates outward into our surroundings.
Heart, brain, intestine, along with all organs
It is scientifically proven that the brain processes 60% of information through images, processing them along with emotions and memories. Although we perceive the world through hearing, taste, smell, and touch, most information is processed visually.
Our body and cells function according to the rules of chemistry, physics, and biology, forming an integrated system. Vital organs such as the heart, brain, intestines, liver, and kidneys are interconnected and communicate via hormones and the nervous system. The images we perceive influence the functioning of the organs, sending healthy or less healthy information.
It is also scientifically proven that family stories and traumas are passed down to future generations in the form of genetic information, influencing world perception and potentially having a negative impact on children's lives. Art therapy helps find new awareness by addressing family patterns and inherited traumas with recognized methods.
Through creative work with hands and body, we can nourish the brain, organs, and nervous system with new and calming images. Recurrent images and painful sensations can be interrupted, energy recharged, and healing processes activated.
The marvel of the brain
The human brain is a marvel!
Even into old age, it remains plastic, meaning that the brain is able to form new neural connections even in advanced age.
Through art therapeutic work and artistic play, the brain remains active, agile, and flexible.
