Here are some photos from the second meeting of art therapy laboratory organized by the Don Luigi Di Liegro Foundation in collaboration with the Ripetta Art Academy, which took place today in the heart of Villa Borghese.
The teachers of the Academy, accompanied by young students and volunteers from the Foundation, guided the participants on a cultural/educational and at the same time therapeutic journey, based on the union between art and nature.
Through the activity of life drawing, we reproduced and observed the surrounding environment in search of hidden monuments, ancient busts and the historic fountains of the Pincio, without ever losing the amazement that distinguishes those who are able to marvel.
Guiding today's path of the art therapy laboratory are the words of "This immense not knowing. Conversations with trees, animals and the human heart", Of Chandra Candiani, poet and translator:
"A good preliminary practice than any other is the practice of wonder. Practicing not knowing and wondering. Looking around and letting go of the concept of tree, road, house, sea and looking with a gaze that ignores what is known. Exercising wonder cures the sick heart of those who have only been able to exercise fear"
