Art to Heart Journeys
Somatics and Creative Art Therapy
December, 2011
To laugh often and much,
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children,
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and
Endure the betrayal of false friends,
To appreciate beauty,
To find the best in others,
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a
Healthy child, a garden patch…
To know even one life has breathed easier
Because you have lived,
This is to have succeeded.
- Emerson

REVITALIZE YOUR WORK WITH SOMATICS AND EXPRESSIVE ARTS
Have you been feeling the need to recharge your work or life? Have you been practicing for many years and want to explore new options? Are you just starting out and want to include creativity and embodiment practices in what you do?
If so, this course is for you. It is designed to increase your connection to your bodymind so that your creativity leads you as you deepen or expand your work or life purpose. This course will introduce you to processes designed to help you connect to yourself, release your blocks and open you up to new possibilities, by using your body and innate creativity.
In this two-day course you will do simple movement, be guided into your own imagery, create art and write to take you deeper within yourself. You will come away with specific somatic and expressive art skills to help you expand your business or profession and make it a more creative and exciting work.
Over the two days of this course we will:
1. Explore simple body-focused and mindfulness techniques to bring more presence;
2. Use creative process to deepen your connection to self;
3. Explore your inner cast of characters that manage and protect you from taking risks.
Bringing Expressive Arts and Somatic practices into whatever you do will enhance your ability to resonate with clients, stay more connected with yourself and allow both sides of your brain to integrate. This course will provide useful skills in assessing and working with self and others. It is useful for therapists, nurses, teachers, body practitioners, students, parents and others interested in exploring the connection between body, creativity and healing.
