The Australian Nature Based Art Therapy Resource
Cultivating Creativity & Connection through Nature-Based Arts
The Australian Nature-Based Art Therapy Resource is a collaborative, practitioner-authored collection of processes, reflections, creative practices and offerings grounded in lived and professional experience.
This volunteer-led project brings together arts therapists and therapeutic practitioners exploring the intersection of art, nature and wellbeing. The invitation is to approach the resource as a doorway: a place to wander, gather ideas and follow what sparks your curiosity, while adapting what you find to your own practice and context.
“This resource began as a bit of a ‘spark’ that I wanted to bring into the world, and grew through many conversations and contributions. My lovely co-editor Sarah Brooke was invaluable in shaping it (we had fun in the process!), and practitioners from across Australia generously contributed their ideas, practices and reflections. All of this has led to a resource that is wonderfully rich. I have loved bringing it together and am incredibly proud of what has emerged. May it travel far and wide!”
