Tree of Life (Supported)
Half-day workshop
Open to anyone, but especially welcoming of those with a learning disability and their carers or anyone who might need a slower pace or more support to engage. You don’t need to be able to draw or write well – everyone can be supported to join in.
In this workshop we will draw our own Tree of Life, thinking about our history, our strengths and our hopes and dreams for the future. We will think about important people in our lives and how we stay strong and keep well.
The Tree of Life uses the parts of a tree to think about parts of our lives; for example, the roots are about where we come from, and the trunk stands for our skills and abilities, the things we are good at. The branches are the hopes and dreams we have and the leaves of the tree are people who are important to us. The fruits are the gifts we have been given by others – not always presents, but gifts like love and understanding.
Everyone in the session will create their own tree and together these will form a ‘forest’, allowing us to think about the strengths in the group.
