Inner Joy Art and Therapy - by Rosana Araújo

This is a topic that touches me deeply, both because I have lived through it myself and because it constantly surfaces in my practice and in conversations with friends.

​It amazes me how much we, as women, have been conditioned to be nothing more than a source of nourishment for others. Even today, the slightest shift of focus toward ourselves is enough to make us feel like the greatest of sinners and rebels.

​What I describe in this carousel is a simplified overview of the journey a woman takes in therapy with me. What I can tell you is that it is a delicate and beautiful process of self-discovery and love. In the end, even those whose only wish was to be the perfect embodiment of the Virgin Mary—immaculate and selfless—will discover that they could never truly give to others without first being whole within themselves.

​It takes courage to strip away the layers and face your true self, and I am here to support you—as a woman, just like you!

​Online sessions available worldwide in English and Portuguese, and in-person in Prague.

Book your first consultation.

It is impressive how much the body can fall out of alignment when we drift away from the path of the heart.

​Jungian Art Therapy allows you, in a respectful and creative way, to realign with who you truly are. All it takes is a decision.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?”

Dear friends, I am happy to invite you for this exposition where I will be participating with my works, part of my Art Therapy monography, where I research the use of henna and watercolor in Art Therapy for trauma healing. I will be immensely happy with your presense. Save the date in your calendar!

ART THERAPY is the topic of the whole exposition dedicated to the anthropological-therapeutic overlap of Lucie Remešová work, a dear friend and human being I was lucky to get to know here in Czech.

Our joint exhibition will be part of the exhibition "Soul of the Indian" by the artist Zuleyka, for whom the art is a tool for emotional balance.

✨ OPENING ~ 24.7. from 19:00
I will be beautify the skin of interested parties with henna.

✨ ARTIST TALK ~ 4.9. from 19:00
Licie will be talking about the context of the creation of her works.
At the same time, her DERNISAGE and the OPENING of my exposition.

✨ DERNISAGE ~ 25.9. from 19:00
End of the exhibition and its transfer to the World Art Therapy festival, under whose auspices it was created and which will take place in Prague from 26. - 28.9.2025. 👉🏼 more at www.arttherapyfestival.org

In art therapy, there is no need to be an artist or even to care about aesthetics. In fact, concern with aesthetic quality can sometimes become a barrier to the free expression of the unconscious. Still, for some, it may become an important part of the personal therapeutic process. Each case is unique.
What I personally aim to share in this exhibition—as a visual artist and art therapist—is how I used henna together with watercolor in an art therapy process with myself, to heal traumas from my childhood and adolescence.
My intention is to share insight into how art therapy works and to bring inspiration and hope for healing to anyone who is experiencing emotional suffering.

✨️ More info coming soon‼️ Stay tuned, and see you there!

You don't live in a cruel world, you just lost the conection with your unconscious. That should be restablished so life can be meaningful and exiting again. The conversation with your unconscious through the symbols which emerge from your words, arts and dreams is the key to regain full health (mental and physical).

Answer me here in the coments with a 🔑 (or other emoji so simplify 😄) if you are ready to start this adventure!

Analytical Psychology teaches us that symptoms—whether physical or emotional—are not mistakes to be fixed, but messages to be heard with care and sensitivity.
The process of individuation is not an abstract journey; it is deeply rooted in real life—in the body, in feelings, in relationships, and in the images that emerge from the unconscious.

With this in mind, I am forming a women’s art therapy group—a safe and symbolic space for creative expression and shared exploration.
If this invitation resonates with you, there is a link in my profile with a short interest form. Once enough participants have joined, we will begin the group.

I also offer individual sessions—both in person in Prague (Vinohrady) and online.

If you feel ready to look inward with intention and depth, I would be honored to walk this path with you.

🌿 Discover the Transformative Power of Art Therapy 🌿

Hello, amazing women in Prague!

I am forming an art therapy group exclusively for immigrant women who want to reconnect with themselves, explore their emotions, and find more authenticity and balance in their lives. 🌟

What is art therapy?
It’s a therapeutic process that combines elements of psychotherapy with various artistic expressions such as painting, writing, drawing, and more. It’s not about “learning art” but about learning to listen to yourself, manage emotions, overcome internal challenges, and reinvent yourself.

How does the therapy group work?

Duration: 3 months, renewable for another 3 months based on participants’ interest.

Weekly sessions: The day and time will be decided based on the availability of those interested.

Location: Bohemian International School of Music, Máchova 431/21, Vinohrady.

Cost: 5,859 Kč per 3-month cycle.

💡 Why join?

Build self-awareness and emotional balance.

Connect with other women who share similar experiences.

Enjoy a safe space to express yourself and grow.

If you’re interested, please fill out this form in the bio link, so I can get in touch and organize the group details

In addition to the group, I also offer individual art therapy sessions, which can be conducted in person or online. If this suits you better, feel free to contact me for more details.

Everything is a matter of perspective, and you can choose how to see, feel, and live this holiday in December.
It can be a commercial date, a time for rest, family gatherings, or, for Christians, an encounter with Christ.

Christmas can also be a portal inviting you to rebirth, guided by the light of the divine child—the archetype within you, even if forgotten. This child, though seemingly fragile, symbolizes the new challenging the old, the light that endures the longest nights. It is the promise of what is yet to come, urging you to release what no longer serves and make way for renewal.

This rebirth is not easy. It requires courage. The divine child emerges in silence, in the hidden places of your soul. To be reborn, you must face doubts, fears, and inner bonds to reach what is pure and eternal, rediscovering life’s freshness.

Advent, the weeks before Christmas, is a sacred time of preparation—not for rushing, but for pausing. The universe holds its breath, awaiting the return of the light. During this time, ask yourself: “What in me needs to die so something new can be born?” This is the work of the soul: letting go, purification, and opening to mystery.

On Christmas night, the divine child is born into the world—and, if you allow it, within your heart. This birth is not just of a sacred being in a manger but of something new in your essence. It is a chance to be reborn with a child’s eyes, seeing the world anew.

But Christmas brings a challenge. To be reborn, you must leave behind the comfortable, confront shadows, and walk into the light. This is the true mystery of Christmas: reconnecting with the primordial force within you, inviting you to transcend the ordinary and embrace your destiny.

Prepare yourself, not with haste, but with reverence for the sacred. Let the divine child guide you across the Christmas portal. May it illuminate your path, showing that the light you seek has always shone quietly at the center of your soul. The mystery awaits. Cross it.
