Metàfora: Studio Arts, Barcelona

He estado mirando la escuela durante bastante tiempo y el curso de introducción a la Arte Terapia. Estaba seriamente interesada pero te ponen 0 facilidades a la hora de informarte (solo atienden por la mañana cuando la mayoría trabajamos), te dicen que te mires la información en la web que es totalmente generalista. Y para finalizar la persona que te atiende es poco cordial, no te pone ninguna facilidad para visitar el centro ni te da ningún tipo de información. Yo si fuera ellos revisaría el trato y atención a los futuros alumnos que es gratamente decepcionante. Y dar un poco más de información de los cursos que son bastante caros. Hay pocas escuelas de arte terapia pero por todo esto no elegiría esta.

I attended the Easter Intensive course which was a truly educational and immersive experience. For a first ever exploration of both the Art Therapy field and an online class in general, the discussions were very insightful and bonding, especially during the small group sessions. Creating, brain storming, analysing and understanding each others art works whilst receiving guidance and support from the tutors. There was a balanced communication, equal participation and a communal respect between all coursemates, which felt rare - in a good way. I wish it lasted longer, but as someone who wished to explore such a field for the very first time, this was the ideal bite-size course to answer my question and deepen my understanding of Art therapy. Thank you, Metàfora! Looking forward to the next level.

Muy interesante el contenido del curso y la metodología utilizada para transmitirlo. Por otro lado, destaco la enorme profesionalidad y compromiso de los profesores y profesoras arteterapeutas, así como el equipo de coordinacion. Una experiencia muy enriquecedora. Muchas gracias.

Me ha gustado la implicación y respeto que ha habido en el grupo experiencial. Me he sentido muy a gusto y con ganas de continuar aprendiendo.

This is a school made of DREAMS! I visited here on a recent trip to Barcelona and I FELL in LOVE! ️ The Whole Vibe and Energy of Metafora is Creative, Welcoming, Professional, and Fresh! Such a COOL place filled with Deep Artists! I Dream of attending one day! I felt like I was home, and I know if you go you will feel that same spirit of Love and Power to Fuel beautiful Art! There is something truly special here and it is a MUST SEE! Wish Chicago had a school like this! But I know I’ll be back!

The best art school in Barcelona! Its beautiful how art can connect people and schools like this exist to help artists evolve there skills and learn different types of tools to express theirselves in a safe, relaxing, friendly and awesome place! Thought by artists to artists, Metáfora has everything an artist needs and whatever he wants to learn, good to know there still schools like this that respects art how it’s supposed to be treated.

La experiencia de metafora es un viaje de ida al propio corazon. Una fiesta de colores que me dan la bienvenida a una vida renovada y confirmada en que ser yo, y yo con otros está muy bueno.

Hola! Mi nombre es Claudia Morais tengo 46, los cumplo hoy, y yo soy de Oporto, Portugal. Soy Profesora de Expresión Plástica a niños hasta los 10 años de edad, hace ya 20 años. En este momento estoy pasando por una fase de gran cambio y transformación, dejé la enseñanza en noviembre pasado porque ya no tenía sentido, ya no era feliz en lo que hacía. Pasé por un proceso de curación a través del Arte, empecé a pintar ya probar otras cosas: felpa, hacer jabones, teñir tejidos, hacer macramé, hacer costura creativa y upcycling. Y es ese trabajo que quiero hacer con los demás - Cura a través del arte.
En el caso de que se trate de una obra de arteterapia en Barcelona, por casualidad no encontré su escuela, anduve a ver en otros sitios y hasta llegué a pedir información. Y entonces en enero hice pedidos a la luna llena y le pedí que: quería hacer un curso intensivo en Barcelona en Arteterapia pero tendría que ser con una beca y que surpresa cuando esta semana veo en el Instagram este vuestro Concurso.

Me encantaría hacer este curso
Hasta pronto

Abrí una puerta que no conocía y encontré. Y me-encontré. Paz, encuentro, humanidad. Todo eso es Metáfora.

Al amanecer siempre está el sol, pero en ocasiones el día nublado no deja verlo; así es mi recorrido en metáfora, la sensación de incógnita y suspenso, la introspección en mi sombra y mis luces, mis habilidades y mis defectos, pero siempre con la confianza en que al terminar el día siempre está el sol.
La luz y la oscuridad son tan diferentes para al igual tan importantes.
No podemos apreciar nuestra luz sin abundar en nuestra oscuridad.

De las mejores disciplinas que existen, ya que con el arte y terapia puedes recorrer y sanar muchas cosas, tanto como persona y como guia. Metáfora una de las mejores escuelas del mundo, es un orgullo y agradecimiento poder disfrutarla y aprovecharla.

Metáfora es encontrar un lugar donde la sensitividad, sensorialidad, sensibilidad, es compartida, escuchada, valorada, reconocida. Somos la mirada del otro. Se da cabida a la deconstrucción, a lo desconocido, a la metamorfosis. Reducir las defensas y desde la vulnerabilidad respetada conectar con los mundos internacionales de otras personas. Vibrar y escuchar. Explorar el atrevimiento. Corporizar el cuerpo y sentir el sentimiento.

Hello! I am Talya Ossendryver. I live in Haifa, Israel and I am 26 years old. I feel that this opportunity has literally just dropped straight down from heaven!

Art therapy in my eyes is a whole other language: a rich language of the soul that doesn't know how to be expressed by simple words. Furthermore, it is a language that connects people from all kinds of backgrounds, as art is open to interpretation by all.
Having grown up speaking two languages, I had some difficulty being able to express myself accurately, whereas I found that art was a perfect medium that allowed me to speak my mind.

When I was researching overseas options to study art therapy, I come across Metafora. However, because of financial issues, I quickly put this thought aside. I have followed your newsletters and have now started following your instagram page, even though it is in Spanish! I lived in Mexico for three months, teaching rural communities about efficient agricultural practices while learning to speak Spanish. Following Metafora newsletters was an excellent and fun way to keep practicing Spanish and widen my exposure to world-class art therapy practices! When I saw the email about the giveaway, I was so, so excited!

I am passionate about art therapy. I believe I have a lot to bring to the group through my multi-cultural and multi-country background. I grew up in South Africa and now live in Israel, my first degree was a BA in psychology and art. This past year I have been working as a social escort for 5 mentally challenged adults, applying my creativity with them, their functional progress has been tremendously rewarding for them as the quality of their lives has improved. As part of my continuing professional development, I took part in a phototherapy course where we learned the tools of phototherapy practice and applied them within the frameworks of my work and myself.

Learning from your wonderful center, fellow attendees and having the privilege to share my art therapy experiences within the group I believe will be enriching for all. Taking part in this week of the Summer Intensive will be an incredible chance to learn from your professional staff. I love meeting people from around the world, especially those who are in the art therapy world.

Thank you for this incredible opportunity!

Kind regards,
Talya Ossendryver

Cruce el océano para darme cuenta que el miedo no es tan malo y que me trajo la conexión que estaba buscando. Metáfora y Arteterapia no solo me abrió el alma, me dio la herramienta más importante para seguir creando y creyendo en mi. Fue una auto terapia regeneradora, pude trabajar con la otredad y encontrarme ahí en ellos también.
Venir a Barcelona, cambio mi vida.
Gracias

Conexion, relaciones, creaciones que te hacen vibrar. Arte, artistas, arte, obra creativa, arte, vida, arte, expresar, arte, color, arte, imagen, arte, emociones, arte, energía, ARTE.

A good culmination place of my journey as an artist and a therapist. Metafora throws the light on art therapy effortlessly and the journey continues.

Being a part of summer intensive course in Art Therapy made me realise, a therapist is someone who has faced their own darkness, who has discovered their inner self and who has healed and understood their inner child. That's why Art Therapy isn't just to learn how to be a therapist for other people, but it is a therapy for you and it makes you become a therapist for your own self. It has been the best study experience of my life so far and I cannot wait to see more discoveries and lessons this course will bring to me.

Brush strokes, hugs, different cultures, cool classes, laughter, unexpected materials. Mix them all in a bowl (with some paint ;) ) and Metàfora is born!

Hola, i am Eda from Turkey. I joined the summer intensive course in Metàfora and i am recommended it so bad! Art therapy is an amazing method to find and reach yourself. Tried and trusted! I am feeling so happy to it on myself and learn more about the theory with the people all around the world. Tasting the power of art and psychology is an amazing experience for me in the city of arts with Metàfora’s 20 years of experiences in the field!
I believe that art is the highest form of hope!
Wish you to stay with arts. ️

Una magnífica idea el compaginar el arte con la sanación que todos de una forma u otra necesitamos!
