Hey Shauna Art Therapy
Member | Shauna Kaendo
Victoria, BC
Art therapy is a combination of talk therapy and art-making… mucking about with art materials, and words, and ideas, and emotions to see how they make you feel. To see how they can bend, and move, and intersect. We’ll dig in. We’ll pause, and express, and notice. We’ll make some space for all of it to unfold, and be. Some space (literal & metaphorical) to breathe – to make a mess, to see, to ask questions, to let yourself feel what you feel… and move through it towards a different sort of understanding. A movement forward. Unstuck.
bio
Shauna Kaendo, Art Therapist | BFA, DVATI
MY PRACTICE IS INCLUSIVE – all genders, colours, orientations… binary & norm busters, queer minded & bodied. I offer private sessions (online & outdoor), groups and workshops (online) – with a focus on nervous system regulation, boundaries, neurodiversity, embodied creative curiosity, building self-trust & liberating practices. Finding ways to understand ourselves differently.
I CAN WALK BESIDE YOU. I can listen, bounce, pivot, create and bumble with you. We can explore tools and processes that can support your movement into and through all of it. I will be in it with you, collaborating.
I LOVE THIS WORK and every minute that I am fortunate enough to do and share it. If you have ANY questions, please ask.
BILATERAL DRAWING CLUB
1-month membership (unlimited)
This is a practice for those with some familiarity and experience with bilateral drawing …maybe you’ve done one of my workshops, or a workshop with another artist/therapist, or maybe you’ve dug into some reading and practicing on your own. In which case, please join us! OR, if you’d prefer to explore one of my Grounding, Rhythm & Bilateral Drawing workshops first, as an introduction to the process and practice …that works too!
With a monthly membership you will have access to all sessions each month. Come to all of them, or just some. Whatever works for you! No chatting. Just music, drawing, and a few interspersed prompts from me. MUCH MORE information about this club here.

SLOW CURIOUS: MARK MAKING
2-hour workshop
This workshop is part of some ongoing groups that I’m running under an umbrella of SLOW CURIOUS, focused on SLOW… literally making art slowly, together. We’ll be exploring mark-making with a light touch, slow, less controlled… holding our materials differently, travelling across the page differently.

12-2pm PDT
$35 (2-hr workshop)
