Letting ordinary habits be reshaped by fresh experiences,

Energy Field
"Energy Field" Art Therapy Workshop, hosted by the University Arts Centre, is a brand new series of activities aims at providing healing for the gathered souls through campus experiments. Here, there are no language limitations. Through interactions and communication with artists and intimate connections with the own senses, participants can express and discover their "heart's desires" in their own preferred ways (observation, listening, speaking, smelling, body sensations). We hope this "healing journey" will nourish the participants' souls and continue to radiate energy even after returning to their own domains. Come to the "Energy Field" and seek "heart's desires”.
Supported by Student Health and Counselling Centre
