Create Space for Healing, Insight, and Connection.
Gentle, guided expressive arts sessions in Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Parkland County, and Online. A warm, creative way to navigate life's challenges and struggles — no artistic experience required.
What is Expressive Arts Therapy?
Art is the language of the soul. It gives voice to what is otherwise difficult to say, opening pathways to deep understanding and personal transformation. Sometimes, life brings experiences and feelings that are too complex to express through words alone.
Expressive Arts is a gentle, creative approach that uses different modalities — visual art, music, writing, photography, clay, collage, movement, and more — to open new pathways to understanding, emotional release, and personal transformation. The imagination is a rich resource that can help individuals move beyond places of feeling constricted and toward new possibilities.
The focus is on the creative process, not the final product. All that is required is a willingness to show up, explore, and trust the journey.

Registered Social Worker & Certified Expressive Arts Facilitator in Spruce Grove, Alberta
Serenity Mountain offers a warm, non-judgmental space to explore, express, and heal through the creative process — honoring your own natural capacity to grow.
Guided by Compassion & Expertise
Sessions are safely held and guided by Darlene Masse Wurster, BSW, RSW, a Registered Social Worker with Certified Expressive Arts Therapy training. Darlene uses a client-centered approach, honoring your innate capacity to create and heal in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Hello, I'm Darlene.
As a social worker, I have spent years helping people navigate life's complex challenges. Along the way, I realized that simply talking things through doesn't always touch the deepest parts of our struggles — sometimes, words alone aren't enough. When I witnessed how creative expression opened doors to healing and self-discovery for women in addiction and recovery, I knew I had found a missing piece of my practice. This inspired me to complete the comprehensive two-year Expressive Arts Therapy training at Langara College, allowing me to blend my background in social work with the transformative capacity of the imagination.
My approach is deeply intuitive, client-centered, and somatic — meaning I follow your unique emotional, cognitive, and physical cues. I firmly believe that you are the ultimate expert on your own life. Given a safe, warm, and supportive environment, your mind and body will naturally find their way to your inner resources. Whether you are seeking relief from stress, processing a major life transition, or working through deeper challenges, I am here to gently guide your process and help you reclaim your inner calm.
