The New Pathway to Wellbeing

with

Aya Husni Bey

Thursday 3rd March 2016

9.30am - 12pm

Creative counsellor and founder of www.creativityunmasked.com, Aya Husni Bey, invites you to experience the latest path to well being with a new counselling style inspired by the proven benefits of adult play and creativity.

With last year’s global boom in colouring books for adults, the future in well-being is sure to take an artistic turn in 2016 as more and more non-verbal therapies are being hailed as a direct and effective route to personal transformation.

In the exquisite surroundings of Gazelli House, Aya will introduce you to brand new ways of unwinding including visualisation meditation, charcoal sketching, sand tray exploration, expressive writing, water colour painting and inspiring story telling.

Psychologists are agreed that creative play is the most valuable skill for alleviating stress, and modern adults neglect it at their peril. Come and experience creative techniques which enable you to connect with your unconscious, and help free emotional blockages. You can try a taster session or immerse yourself in a course of six appointments. Through this transformative work you can acquire newfound:

Confidence
Optimism
Improved communication skills
Creativity & Playfulness
Inspiration
Healthier relationships
Spaciousness and Clarity
Self-worth
Purpose and meaning in your life
Self-respect and personal growth

The power of play and the transformative effects are fundamental to our well-being. Dr. Stuart Brown, psychiatrist, play researcher and TedTalk presenter, says: ”Of all animal species, humans are the biggest players of all. We are built to play and built through play. Most obviously, it is intensely pleasurable. It energizes and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities.”

Aya’s 1:2:1 sessions are tailor-made to the individual. The creative path is determined by the client’s needs. A session may include visual meditation to help connect mind and body, or encourage engagement with particular emotions. You may experience sand tray play and figurine arranging followed by charcoal drawing, water colour painting and story telling. A unique combination of these skills and counselling techniques are used to develop self-awareness and self-compassion, and to release old emotional blockages from the body and negative thinking patterns from the mind.

Gazelli House, www.gazellihouse.com is the new three-tiered lifestyle concept, based in South Kensington and combines the art of play with deep therapeutic healing. With its intimate, homely and inviting interiors, Gazelli House is the perfect space in which to learn, feel inspired, and be empowered in a unique atmosphere that encourages healing through all of the senses.

"If you are feeling run down, stressed, depressed or just plain old bore and antsy, then lift your spirits with the oldest form of therapy known to humankind: Creative play can be fun escapism and it can be a learning experience, and it can be both. Whatever it is, it always freshens the senses, replenishes the soul and clears the mind." - Aya Husni Bey
