Anthroposophical Art Therapy seeks to strengthen and support the inherent forces of health which have been displaced by illness. It tends to harmonise imbalances by transforming deeply ingrained habits and awakening new faculties of imagination. The artistic process can bring about new insights and self-knowledge, as well as the development of new qualities like patience, confidence and a stronger sense of self. No previous experience or ability is required as the therapeutic effects lie more in the doing than the final result, and the activity itself works in subtle ways to restore inner balance and health to the physical body.
