This is a friendly, participative group where members will draw, share what they have created and talk together about their observations and experiences. No previous drawing experience or artistic ability is needed.

To get the most from the group, you will need to be able to make intentional marks on paper using a pencil, crayon, ballpoint or felt-tip pen, and to see what you are drawing. You will also need a way of showing your drawings to the group, usually by holding them up to your Zoom camera.

Members will be encouraged to join in group discussion, so you will need to be able to mute and unmute yourself on Zoom and communicate with other members.

From time to time, members may share personal thoughts or experiences as part of the discussion. Everyone is therefore asked to respect the privacy of other members and not to share personal information or experiences outside the group.

The group is intended as a creative and supportive learning activity rather than therapy or counselling. It is not designed to provide support for someone experiencing acute emotional distress.
