with Carla van Laar

10am – 4pm, Lunch 12.30 – 1.30pm, 15 minute morning and afternoon tea breaks $125 pandemic discount, ONLINE.

Through our art based activities, we can have a heightened awareness of our embodied experience in the present moment, through which we cultivate presence to ourselves, others and the material world.

In this training workshop we practice, explore and deepen our understandings of presence and embodiment as qualities indigenous to the art based methods we use in therapeutic arts practice. These ways of experiencing are linked with traditional wisdom practices and are significant, life-enhancing and important for health, development, well-being, meaning-making and culture.

Connect with Creativity in Community

Unfurl. Nourish your practice as an artist and arts therapist.
In a Draw and Pour gathering, you talk, listen, draw (make art) and pour (your tea). It’s a simple, unique combination of structure and freedom, akin to an old-fashioned sewing circle.
Draw and Pour for Arts Therapists is designed to allow authentic, meaningful, professional connection, while placing creativity at the core. We engage with mindfulness and guided explorations. We share stories of working (or not working) as arts therapists in these topsy-turvy times. We tap the group wisdom to support and resource one another.
Together we weave a web of interdependent creative care.

Starts 9th November

ArtKey:  Use art to unlock more effective trauma narratives with Lisa Mitchell, MFT, ATR and Kendra McGivney. Online.

We all know that trauma is a multi-sensory experience, so why do we continue to rely on words alone to help our clients recover? In this course you will learn to enhance trauma treatment and memory reconsolidation with creative expression and sensory based processing. If you are a therapist who is required to use a trauma treatment model that emphasizes cognition as the healing modality, we will take you beyond the workbook pages of manualized treatments.  If you are a therapist who wants to learn to bring art and creative expression to your trauma work with clients in a safe and effective way, we will show you how.  This course is full of colorful examples and client vignettes, hands-on learning opportunities, and real time discussion.
