Session 8: Abundance

Shadow work: Manipulation

This group art therapy session invites participants to explore the theme of abundance—the fullness and richness of life—through the use of symbolism and geometric forms. Just as nature reveals patterns of growth, harmony, and interconnectedness in shapes like spirals, circles, and fractals, this session encourages a creative dialogue with these universal forms to access feelings of prosperity and wholeness.

Participants will engage in mindful creation, discovering how symbolic shapes can represent inner resources, potential, and the generosity of the self and the world.

Session Structure

• Opening & Grounding (30 minutes)
  The session begins with a welcoming circle and a guided meditation that invites participants to center themselves and reflect on experiences of abundance—whether in relationships, creativity, nature, or personal growth.

• Symbolic Geometry – Creative Process (1 hour)
  Participants will explore drawing and painting geometric shapes and symbols, focusing on patterns such as circles, spirals, triangles, and other sacred forms. The process is intuitive and meditative, allowing shapes to emerge organically as expressions of inner richness and interconnectedness.
  Soothing music, tea, and biscuits will accompany the session to support a calm, reflective atmosphere. No prior experience is needed; the emphasis is on personal meaning and presence.

• Reflection & Integration
  The session closes with an opportunity to share reflections on the created symbols, their meanings, and the feelings of abundance that arise. Sharing may be done within the group or privately with the facilitator, emphasizing insight and emotional resonance rather than interpretation.

This session offers a space to reconnect with the natural flow of abundance—recognizing how life’s fullness can be mirrored in the harmony of symbolic geometry and nurtured through creative expression.
