"Under the Lighthouse" Art Therapy Workshop Series (Father's Day Special)
Father's love is like a lighthouse—silent yet steadfast, illuminating the course of our lives.
Those unspoken words of gratitude, those gestures of care lost in the busyness of life—
have they become like sea mist, obscuring the true image of one another?
This Father's Day, let us use art as a bridge,
rediscovering those overlooked signals of warmth through creation,
and exploring the unique emotional bond between father and child.
Time: 15th June, 11:30-14:30 IST / 16:00-19:00 AEST /05:00-08:00 UTC
We can:
✅ Deconstruct expressions of fatherly love: Through artistic creation, uncover the emotional code behind a father's "silent love."
✅ Reimagine communication: Break through traditional barriers of dialogue using nonverbal expression (painting, collage).
✅ Heal intergenerational wounds: Process emotional imprints of the "strict father" or "absent father" in a safe space.
The "Light House - Exploring Relationships" Art Therapy Workshop will guide you to:
1. Rediscover your father in a safe, inclusive space
▸ Explore untold father-child stories through painting, sculpture, and other art forms.
▸ In the act of creation, encounter the many facets of your father—not just as a "parent," but as a person with his own story.
2. Find your own image of fatherhood
▸ Deconstruct societal expectations of "fatherhood" and discover the unique relationship that belongs to you.
▸ Redefine what "father's love" means to you through artistic expression.
3. Co-write a hopeful future
▸ Transform past experiences into creative nourishment.
▸ Use art to outline new possibilities for your father-child relationship.
The lighthouse's beam never asks to be seen—
yet its presence alone becomes the coordinates for homecoming.
