Transformational Art for Teens+Young Adults
Virtual Event

4pm-6pm
The OLLIE Foundation are delighted to welcome back our Zentangle trainer, Lucy Farren to launch this mini series of Neurographica. Lucy, trained in this mindful art form, will expertly guide us through a fusion of artistic expression and psychological techniques designed to promote healing and relaxation of the mind.
What is Neurographica®?
- An innovative, scientifically proven method of transforming human thinking processes through drawing and creativity
- A unique blend of art and psychology, developed in 2014 by Pavel Piskarov, a Russian psychologist, architect and Reiki master
- A method that uses the connection between fine motor skills and the neural system of the brain, to allow new neural connections to be created
- A guided drawing method that consists of eight set steps. This is called the Basic Algorithm and is the underlying structure of all Neurographic drawing.
What are the effects of using Neurographica?
- By drawing using the method, brain operating frequency is lowered, helping the client become relaxed and connect with their subconscious, allowing for the release of supressed emotion and feelings and the access to insights
- New neural pathways and connections are created when a client draws neurographic lines and then connects them
- Over time, and with repeated use, old patterns of thinking are broken, and new ones discovered. This effects decision-making and removes perceived obstacles to allow a specific goal to be reached.
The main objectives for attendees when using Neurographica are:
- To observe their reactions, feelings, and thoughts on a chosen topic before the drawing, during and after its completion, to recognise the changes that have taken place
- To act on the insights that the drawing brings, taking inspired steps towards the desired future goal.
Why Choose Neurographica?
- Unlike other traditional talk based coaching techniques, Neurographica works with both the conscious and the subconscious levels of mind, which gives access to insights and solutions not accessible in conscious thinking. It therefore can address issues that the attendee may not be consciously aware of and can deal with the fact that the subconscious and the conscious minds are often at odds with each other
- Unlike traditional talk based coaching techniques, there is no requirement for the attendee to discuss issues in detail with the coach if they do not feel able to
- Unlike other techniques, the attendee is able to 'observe' thoughts and feelings coming to the surface, rather than experience them fully, making them easier to handle.
