Music & Imagery – Winter Session

Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) is a form of therapy in which music and imagery experiences activate inner reflection, memories, and feelings, to promote mental and spiritual well-being and health. While listening to selected music in a relaxed state, group participants express the imagery as it comes to mind through a creative process, such as drawing. A typical group session will include an initial discussion to help identify the focus of the session for each participant, followed by a guided relaxation, then music listening and imaging, and a group discussion to bring meaning to your experience and relate it to your life and your relationships.

Thursdays, 12:00-1:30 pm  (six weeks)  Open to Healing Garden Clients, Caregivers, and Bereaved members.  Free program with optional donation accepted. Priority given to those who have not participated in a previous class.

**You are required to attend the first session of this 6-part program and as many additional sessions as you are able.  This program will meet on Zoom. 

Materials needed:

Colored pencils, oil pastels, or any other drawing materials you may have, and at least six sheets of white paper for each session.
