Overview
Sadly after valiant attempts to keep the course running, the Hibernia Art Therapy Programme will be closing at the end of the 2009-2010 academic year. This will not affect the current students who will complete their training as planned.
On a positive note, negotiations are underway for an anthroposophic art therapy training, currently run by Alanus University in Germany, to be delivered in partnership with Novalis Trust at Ebley House in Ebley, near Stroud.The Alanus art therapy programme has much in common with the existing Hibernia training; is already a recognized masters degree and will be seeking accreditation with the Health Professions Council (HPC)before starting. Details of a timeframe for this are not yet clear.
If you are interested in receiving information of the Novalis short courses or the Alanus art therapy training, please send us your details via the contact page.
Postgraduate Art Therapy- Ending July 2010
The City & Guilds Membership Level 7 Art Therapy Course is an integrated programme including seminars, lectures, experiential art therapy group work, supervision, clinical practice and tutorials.
The course includes a dynamic in-depth study of art therapy focussing on human development and psychotherapeutic, social, medical and spiritual models of understanding. Issues such as difference and culture are explored. Anthroposophic, psychodynamic, humanistic and integrative approaches are compared, contrasted and researched. The course helps students examine how the anthroposophic and psychodynamic models work with the therapeutic relationship to facilitate the process of healing. It places due emphasis on competence, safety and good practice.
Foundation Course in Art Therapy - No further intakes
This course is intended for people who are interested in Anthroposophic art therapy and are considering applying to the Hibernia post-graduate programme. It offers a practical and experiential introduction to art therapy as well as insights into anthroposophy and its practical application. Fundamental to Hibernia's approach is the perception that the human being and the natural world need to be understood physically as well as in terms of soul and spirit.
The course emphasises a balance between study and practice, between gaining insights from the past and exploring the future. We work with motivated students who want to deepen their means of artistic expression, to develop therapeutic modalities for supporting individuals and communities in times of transition or who want to cultivate artistic approaches to teaching.
