Psychedelic Art Week Kick Off - An Intimate Conversation: A Psychedelic Art Therapist and A Client

As part of Psychedelic Art Week, we're excited to host the Illinois Psychedelic Society for this intimate fireside style chat with Valery Shuman, from Sana Healing Collective. Valery, a licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified art therapist, specializes in assisting individuals who seek to understand their relationships with themselves, others, and substances. Valery will sit alongside a client as they guide us through a brilliant and moving discussion on the real-world impact of the intersection of Psychedelic Therapy and Art.

In this intimate conversation, witness the profound connection and dynamic exchange between a psychedelic art therapist and their client. Discover the therapeutic process through the lens of personal experience as they discuss the client's journey—exploring the insights gained, the emotional landscapes navigated, and the creative expression that has emerged from their sessions. This candid dialogue aims to shed light on the symbiotic relationship between art and healing, offering a window into the soulful depths that psychedelic therapy can reach. Perfect for therapists, those interested in the healing arts, or anyone curious about the personal impact of psychedelic therapy, this activity promises to be as transformative as it is informative. You'll leave with a greater appreciation for the role of art in psychological wellness and a deeper understanding of the client-therapist alliance in a psychedelic context.
