Her ART THERAPY Podcast is an uplifting space for vulnerability, reflection, and honest conversation. Hosted by Abstract Expressionist, International Educator, and SAFESPACES.ART Founder Valentine Svihalek, alongside Mindful Art Guide and Environment, Health & Safety Consultant Rebecca Brandmeier, the podcast explores emotional wellbeing through art from a place of learning, curiosity, and lived experience.
We share insights from our own experiences and explore the real life emotional challenges women face, using Art Therapy tools for reflection and connection.
Based in the heart of Europe, the podcast opens a gentle yet meaningful space where creativity, presence, and human connection meet.
With care,
Valentine and Rebecca

WOMEN NOW PANEL DISCUSSION
This special episode of our podcast was recorded during the Safe Spaces intensive week in Brno, where our first series of events took place. We invite you to listen in to the panel discussion held on August 21, 2024, exploring the "Roles and Responsibilities of Women within the Home and Work Environment."
Moderated by Valentine Svihalek, contemporary artist and founder of the Art Connect Society, this discussion aimed to empower and support women in all aspects of their lives.
We were honored to feature a distinguished panel of experts:
PhDr. Branislava Marvánová Vargová, head of the professional social counseling service at Rosa Centrum Pro Ženy, who shared invaluable insights on women's rights and support services.
Andrea Ehret, an artist and art therapist, who offered a unique perspective on the transformative power of creative expression.
Andrea Tkačuková, CEO of Foreigners Group, who highlighted the challenges women face in the business setting and their roles within organizations in a globalized world.
We kick off the episode with a brief reflection by Valentine and Kristi Lei. Then, join us as we reflect on the evolving roles of women, the challenges they encounter, and the strides being made toward greater freedom and empowerment in a raw and open conversation between women.
As we look ahead, mark your calendars for the next step in the project: Safe Spaces International Prague, featuring artists from around the world, on November 7 at Gram Prague. Together, let’s continue to elevate the voices of women in our community!
