In the context of mental health, masking refers to the behavior or coping mechanism individuals may employ to hide or conceal their true thoughts, feelings, or difficulties related to their mental health.
Step into the intriguing world of mask making where you’ll explore the layers of your persona. In this workshop, we delve into the metaphorical masks we wear in our daily lives. Uncover the intricacies of our true selves.
Through the creative process of crafting masks, participants embark on a journey of self-discovery.
Shed light on hidden facets of your identity. Whether it’s the mask of confidence, vulnerability, or resilience, each creation reflects a unique aspect of the human experience.
Join me as we peel back the layers and unveil the authentic essence beneath the surface.
It’s time to embrace your true self and discover the beauty of authenticity through the art of mask making.
1. Self-awareness: By engaging in the process of mask making, you gain deeper insights into your own personalities, behaviors, and emotions. Exploring the symbolism behind each mask allows for introspection and a greater understanding of the various roles we play in our lives.
2. Personal Growth: Creating masks provides a safe and creative outlet for expressing emotions and experiences that may be difficult to articulate verbally. Through this artistic exploration you can confront inner conflicts, fears, and desires, leading to personal growth and a sense of empowerment.
3. Connection and Empathy: Sharing the mask-making journey in a group setting fosters a sense of community and empathy as you witness each other’s vulnerabilities and revelations. This shared experience encourages compassion, understanding, and support among peers, promoting a deeper connection with oneself and others.
