Imagine is a therapeutic arts project
offering an accessible and supportive studio space in which members can explore and develop their creativity in the community-based practice. The studio, which opened in 2009, is currently run by Laura Ridolfi and Hisako Simon. Members can choose between the ‘Studio Practice Sessions’ – which allow more independent artistic work, and the more structured ‘Theme

d-Based Groups’ – where, in a confidential setting, artistic and emotional aspects of a specific theme are explored from different perspectives. Together with the above weekly sessions, our programme includes weekend ‘workshops’. Imagine offers a safe space where creativity can be used as a powerful tool for furthering self-awareness and change. No previous artistic experience is required to join the studio and basic art materials are provided. Hisako Simon
Through my Anthroposophic training in sculpture and art therapy, I realised that engaging in artistic processes was a way towards encountering our own inner selves. On my journey I found that similar forms kept appearing which revealed aspects of my being, and I believe when we meet them with a sincere heart they open new dimensions to who we really are. Laura Ridolfi
I feel that our creativity helps us to deal with the unexpected, to find meaning in our lives and the inner resources to change and grow. Trained in Anthroposophic Art Therapy, my approach embraces the physical as well as the soul and spiritual aspects of our well-being in relationship to the world arounds us. I see life as a journey, where the outer and the inner path interweave; art helps me to enjoy this journey: mindful in the process, I leave the destination open to the imagination.

The final workshop in our Parzival series with Imagine Therapeutic Arts gave participants the chance to develop their understanding of the human condition using Wolfram von Eschenbach's tale as inspiration.

And what beauty they produced! 🥰

So happy to have hosted Johannes Steuck, and struck by the vivid images that came out of this process. 🩷🧡💚

Last Friday's theme was 'change' and here is the story that accompanied these contemplative pieces of creativity. 💙💭
