The workshop is based on the works of Vera Molnár and focuses on attention and awareness. Daniel J. Siegel's Awareness Wheel practice, which is used to develop the skills of directing and focusing attention necessary for a healthy mind, is combined with artistic work. After a walk through the museum, awareness of the senses, body and mind and attention to the environment are expanded, while the discoveries are transferred to paper with art therapy tools.

We, by which I mean some of my classmates and I, knew about Paula Rego. I’ll have to admit, I didn’t know where Rego was from or even where in Europe Portugal was. I thought she was English. Let me tell you how I first heard the very un-English sounding name “Paula Rego”
While Paula Rego belatedly was recognised as one of the leading feminist pioneers of her age, little has been written about her exploration of fluid sexuality. Indeed the current of sado-masochism in her drawings and paintings, has tended to encourage an understanding as a classic clash between the patriarchy and exploited women.
