All artistic activity frees and harmonises the soul, and deeply affects our organism.
Artistic therapy based on individual specific diagnosis directly supports the healing process in a wide spectrum of illness, replenishing depleted life force and healing physical symptoms as well as imbalances of soul life. Based on a spiritual, holistic understanding of the human being as body, life organism, soul and spirit, anthroposophical art therapy uses three main artistic tools. The artistic thechniques of painting, drawing and modelling address different aspects of the person and thus help balance, maintain or restore health. Since the 1920s, throughout Central Europe and in England this healing art has been practised and developed in hospitals, medical practices, psychiatric and psychosomatic clinics and homes for people with special needs. 120-day placement and a diploma presentation weekend at Tobias in the following year.
