ROOTS & NEURO Neurographic Tree Workshop — The Atlas Creative Circle Saturday 16 May 2026 · Melbourne In-Person Sanctuary
What if clarity didn't come from thinking — but from drawing?
In this in-person creative arts session, we work with the Neurographic Tree: a structured free-form drawing process rooted in neuroplasticity and expressive arts therapy. You will map your roots (where you come from and what stabilises you), your trunk (core values and strengths), your branches (what you are growing toward), and your falling leaves (what is ready to be released).
Melbourne In-Person (Limited: 10 seats) For those who want a held room, embodied practice and a consistent circle Payment options: Term 1 payment: $420 2 Payments of $210 for 2 weeks.
ROOTS & NEURO is a Melbourne in-person neurographic art workshop designed to help participants explore grounding, core values, emotional release, and inner clarity through structured drawing and creative reflection.
This session uses the Neurographic Tree process, a guided expressive drawing method inspired by neuroplasticity, nervous system regulation, and creative arts therapy. Participants create a symbolic tree using roots, trunk, branches, and falling leaves to explore what supports them, what they are growing toward, and what is ready to be released.
This workshop is part of The Atlas Creative Circle, a creative and transpersonal art practice that combines expressive arts, somatic awareness, reflective journaling, sensory process, and symbolic image-making.
What is the Neurographic Tree?
The Neurographic Tree is a structured free-form drawing process that helps people reflect visually rather than only mentally.
In this workshop, the tree becomes a map of self-inquiry:
Roots represent where you come from and what stabilises you
Trunk represents your core values, strength, and identity
Branches represent growth, direction, hopes, and future movement
Falling leaves represent release, change, and what no longer needs to be carried
This process supports people to move from overthinking into a more embodied and creative state of awareness.
What happens in the workshop?
Participants will be guided through a creative process that may include:
polyvagal-informed grounding and nervous system settling
embodied values reflection
neurographic tree drawing
sensory painting and texture exploration
Home Base resource mapping
