I am Isabel Fryszberg, founder of Arts-Based Well-Being, a practice and program to nourish one's capacity for wellness through the arts. I am an inter-disciplinary professional artist and certified/registered Occupational Therapist, residing in Toronto. I am passionate about innovating healthcare through the arts with over thirty years of experience developing arts-based programming and online resources for diverse communities, individuals, students and health practitioners. I have witnessed first-hand how the arts can be transformative and bring out the best in people, especially their sense of vitality and resilience.
I have received requests from others wanting to develop their own self care practice through the arts as a way to discover and bring back their own muse, develop a creative practice and find a new sense of wellness. Tapping into a daily arts practice is liberating and frees you from the barriers that can hold you back. I am looking forward to supporting you on your creative journey as I provide the tools and resources you need to take your self-care to the next level!
The Arts-Based Creative Self-Care Practice is a 5-week practical and engaging online program that is an outgrowth from the success of my signature 8-week training program. The difference is that this program is designed to support you in your arts practice and help free you from your barriers (inner critic/perfectionist/negative self judgement). I do not proclaim to be free of my own judgement, perfectionism or self doubt. This is an area that I work on daily and am eager to work with each other in community. I will guide you through the steps needed to learn to nourish your own creativity and support your well-being. No matter how you approach this toolbox, you will find it timely and restorative!
In this new course I provide collaborative hands-on art making webinars/zooms where we meet weekly and create. I will provide a demonstration of how to use different materials and approaches to enrich your practice from mindful watercolours, mixed media painting, smash booking, and collaborative writing/songwriting.
I have also adapted 4 of the key tools from my tool box training program. They are accompanied by helpful downloadable resources, creative activities, guided exercises, reflections, prompts and videos. Each tool requires approximately 1-2 hours per week to read through the lessons and work on the interactive exercises. In addition, I will provide 1-to-1 arts-based coaching sessions to work with you on your personal art practice.
The toolbox has been developed using key applications from an occupational science and therapy framework, scientific principles and practices that have been thoughtfully integrated with arts and creative-based approaches that are all supported by evidence-based methodology. By enrolling in this course, you are taking the first important steps to finding your own authentic path so you can:
Build creative environments for your own art practice
Learn how to create a safe space for yourself
Develop more passionate and harmonized engagement toward your art practice.
Bring more play and delight into your work and personal life
Learn how to ‘tenderize’ your inner critic to enable you to create
Connect with other like minded creatives working to carve and strengthen their creative practice
Develop a compassionate approach for your self-care and creative practice
