Personal & Professional Workshops
 |
To understand oneself through the expressive arts is to go beyond the limitations of language and social construct, and to engage in a landscape of the unconscious, to participate in the re-creation of Self.
The content and focus of the following workshops may be designed for either professional development or to address therapeutic needs. Other types of workshops are available upon request.
Experiential workshops allow an opportunity to address personal issues using the creative process. The intention is to allow personal discovery and insight to come forth from the individual’s exploration of symbolic content and metaphoric language. This approach respects one’s innate wisdom and capacity to heal. Workshop content is a mixture of spontaneous, creative expression and directed activities. Many workshops include relaxation, movement and visualization along with art activities. No art experience is necessary as the focus is on personal growth rather than artistic ability.
Clinical presentations include power point information and case study material outlining various therapeutic issues and an overview of how art therapy can be used to address these specific issues. Clinical presentations are designed as training for those in the healthcare profession, educational programs, or for conferences. Depending on the time allotted, presentations may include an experiential component.
