MYSHA Girls is a safe haven for young girls to explore their creativity and self expression.
This very special group is facilitated by the founder of MYSHA, registered arts therapist and teacher Melissa Joss, AThR. and has been running continuously for the past 8 years. Over this time we have developed a structure to our sessions which has been a great success with all our girls and their families. We currently run on Friday afternoons from 3.45 to 5.15pm.
At MYSHA, we celebrate your beautiful girl just as she is. We encourage her to spread her expressive wings, to try a wide variety of arts mediums (from drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, felting, weaving, to crystal healing, to cooking, to singing and playing musical instruments), and to develop a healthy sense of creative risk-taking and courage. The value of these sessions is in the process, the doing and experiencing, rather than on the end product. This is a group which supports one another and there is a genuine culture of togetherness and safety where each and every girl is lovingly nurtured. We actively praise one another’s efforts and “happy little mistakes”. It’s also a space for healing past wounds, because we’ve all experienced times in our lives which have been less than loving. Skills for listening, sharing, being brave and learning to be a supporter of others are fostered here. We share a gentle practice of yoga and meditation where we are learning to compassionately master our own thoughts, be at one with our whole bodies and develop healthy skills for life.
It’s an afternoon event running weekly, during term time. Fees are generally paid up front, however if space allows and you would like to join us mid term, please send through your enquiry.
