Three-dimensional drawing in VR extends traditional expressive arts practices by allowing participants to create within full-body space, engaging movement, posture, and spatial perception alongside symbolic expression. When used in see-through (passthrough) mode, VR can support grounding and interpersonal connection, making it suitable for therapeutic and group-based contexts.This workshop aims to introduce or deepen participants’ understanding of VR headsets as healing arts tools and to propose Open Brush as a medium for three-dimensional drawing in virtual space. The objectives are to foster body awareness, clarify personal boundaries, and strengthen the connection between body image and inner psychological resources through embodied creative practice.The setting is designed for twelve participants working in groups of three around four VR headsets. After an introduction to Open Brush, participants rotate through the roles of creator, guide, and witness. Each participant creates a personal “superhero” beginning from a three-dimensional body map drawn in VR, while peers provide movement-based guidance and reflective observation. Group reflection and somatic integration complete the process.By the end of the workshop, participants are expected to gain practical familiarity with VR as a therapeutic medium, enhance awareness of bodily boundaries and spatial presence, and consolidate contact with key inner resources symbolized through the superhero figure. The process supports agency, confidence, creative expression beyond perceived limitations, empowerment, self-esteem, and integrative awareness while maintaining ethical and relational grounding. 0 0 0 0
