Expressive Arts Programs
Private or Group Sessions and Workshops
Expressive activities allow us to tap into emotions that cannot be put into words. Over the years, they have been demonstrated to help people work through challenging life experiences and move forward in emotional breakthroughs.
Each session or workshop includes one or more of the following activities:
Art Projects
Using a variety of art media, specific art projects are offered that are designed to help us find new ways to express our thoughts and feelings without words. Empathic discussion often follows each project. Depending upon the needs of the individual or group, a specific intention forms the basis for each creation.
No art experience is needed.
Dance and Movement
For millennia, people have used music, dance, and movement to tell stories, share their emotions, and release tension. Exercises are tailored to individual physical abilities and often include props. Empathic discussion may be used to complement the experience.
Drumming
All around the world, people from diverse cultural backgrounds use drums and other percussion instruments to express emotions and connect with others. Participants join in group drumming sessions using a variety of instruments that suit a range of physical abilities.
Journaling
Writing down our thoughts often leads to new insights about our challenges and feelings. Journaling allows us to create a stream of consciousness that reflects our experiences, and is often used together with the other expressive activities.
Meditation and Mindfulness
Using a variety of approaches that include guided meditation, breath work, and mindfulness exercises, relaxation techniques are learned that can be used to help us feel greater control over the stresses in our lives.
Programs are offered for individuals, groups, families and organizations.
