This workshop series is designed for members who are curious about the interest group EFA Community Art Table (CAT) starting late autumn 2026.

The workshop series provides opportunities to explore inner healing through Focusing oriented art-based self-care and group support. We are going to use tools of Expressive Arts Focusing (EXAF) to articulate our Felt Sense through the visual medium. Artistic skills are not a prerequisite for participation.

The meetings are scheduled to take place 3 – 4 times per annum via zoom. The initial meeting has taken place Monday October 6, 2025. The third meeting is scheduled Monday April 27, 2026, 7 pm CET/6 pm GMT to 8.30 pm CET/7.30 GMT.

We would like to warmly invite any EFA member to join our EFA Community Art Table group in April.

Enrollment is open 7 days ahead from April 17, 2026 to April 27, 2026 till 5 pm CET/4 pm GMT. Please use this off-page LINK for enrollment. Zoom link will be sent 30 minutes before start.

You will receive an overview of the Smash’n Focus process in the form of a downloadable PDF, which will be added to the Zoom invitation.

Kindly refer to the art supply list before checking in to the zoom room.

Future meetings will be announced on this page as well.

 

Here is an overview of what will happen:

In the course of the workshop series we are going to follow a safe technique called ‘Smash ‘n’ Focus’. This technique is going to help us explore our inner landscape using the one-page method: Everything that comes up is put down and processed on one page. Thus the page becomes a holding container.

We are going to prepare our page in accordance with the sensory based art journaling practice of Cosmic Smash Booking® CSB (an easy to learn form of healing art journaling created by Catt Geller). The process of artistic expression will be continued by building layers of paints that serve as supportive ground for our emotional and aesthetic journey to unfold. We are going to smash our bodily feelings artistically onto the page and unleash our inner artist (our fundamental creative force of nature). We will encounter our embodied self (or embodied parts) and process our feelings through art making and body-art dialogue.

Smash ‘n’ Focus is a Self-Focusing practice based around a specific theme, designed to support both clients and healing professionals.

The meetings will be fascilitated by Freda Blob
