Expressive Arts Therapy
Expressive arts therapy is based in the well recognized power of creativity to heal. Awakening your creativity is healing in itself. Expressive Arts is not about skill or technique. It is about meaning. It provides a way to open the door of communication between your inner and outer self. This moves people beyond the presentable persona to the wholeness we all long for.
Expressive arts includes several different mediums, often one after the other, as you dive deeper into the creative process. Through the process you uncover and often resolve issues that had previously been lodged deep in the unconscious. These are sometimes challenges the conscious mind had been unaware of.
This does not just reveal, but often the experience of expression itself opens places within us. Often letting in the light which in itself changes perception and experience of long held wounds.
Through drawing, painting, sculpture, poetry, storytelling, movement and song,
blocked places within
begin to move, shift,
rearrange and release.

"Why should we all use our
Creative power?
Because there is nothing
that makes people
so generous, joyful, lively, bold,
compassionate,
so indifferent to fighting
and the accumulation of objects
and money"
