I am excited about our Fall residency that begins this week! The residency time will be infused with much creativity and artistic expression. Here’s some of what we will be doing. I will be teaching this workshop:
Expressive Arts Practice: The Contributions of The Shaman, The Counselor, and The Artist.
In this workshop, we will explore and discuss some of the foundational writings and theory that have informed the practice of Expressive Arts Therapy. The workshop will also be experiential. As we discuss some of the methods used in Expressive Arts Therapy, we will also practice them. Finally, we will talk about the ways an individual may become credentialed as an Expressive Arts Therapist, including ways to meet requirements even while completing the MA degree in the Clinical Counseling Program at Goddard.
If you plan to attend our workshop, please collect images from magazines and other printed sources that resonate with you and bring them to Residency. Also bring other small objects and materials that you are drawn to that may be incorporated into a collage. Also bring a dream. Keep a notebook next to your bed, and record your dreams IMMEDIATELY upon waking. Try to remember the context (place), who was in the dream, what happened, objects that were present, and the emotional tone of the dream. We will also use the dream for our creative/expressive work. I look forward to our work together.
