Healing Power of Art: an online program
Here is a lovely online offering from the Bay Area Center for Waldorf Teacher Training (BACWTT) in California. It is open to people of all ages and levels of experience, and because it is online, you can join from right here in Aotearoa.
The Healing Power of Art is a therapeutic visual arts program. Through painting, light and darkness drawing, sculpture and form drawing, you build your creativity, your artistic skills and your powers of observation. It also begins to lay the foundation for working artistically to bring health and wellbeing to yourself and others. BACWTT describes art as calming, centering, embodying and enlivening, a way of guiding forces of health into positive pathways for body, soul and spirit.
Dates and times
The program runs from November 2026 to May 2027. Sessions are held on Saturday mornings in California, which makes them early Sunday mornings in New Zealand:
Sunday 8 November 2026, 6:30am to 10:30am
Sunday 6 December 2026, 6:30am to 10:30am
Sunday 3 January 2027, 6:30am to 10:30am
Sunday 7 February 2027, 6:30am to 10:30am

Sunday 4 April 2027, 4:30am to 8:30am
Sunday 2 May 2027, 4:30am to 8:30am
These NZ times are approximate, because daylight saving changes in both countries shift the gap through the year. Please check session times with BACWTT when you enrol.
