Behind the Mask

Behind the Mask is a 4-week course that offers participants the opportunity to take a deep dive into their life experiences. In these group sessions, we use the creative process of mask-making to explore different questions and themes, including:

• Our sense of self and identity – who are we? What makes us unique?
• Where we find our meaning and purpose – what matters to us?
• Our thoughts, feelings and emotions.
• Our hopes and fears – for ourselves and those around us.

This course will help you to find:

• Greater self-awareness and the ability to manage difficult thoughts and feelings;
• Personal creativity, freedom and self-expression;
• Feelings of calm or relaxation, with a decrease in depression, anxiety or stress;
• Greater clarity about what is important to you – and how this might impact your future care and decisions
• Improved relationships with family and friends – opening pathways for deeper conversations;
• Peer support and friendship
• A deeper sense of love or compassion – for themselves and others.
