Philosophy:
There is a difference between creativity and artmaking. Creativity exists in all of us. Artmaking incorporates creativity and is related to the arts. Creativity is its own entity, whether artistically oriented or not. This intuitive, therapeutic process involves breath, movement, art, sound, music, writing and verbal and non-verbal communication. Since we all have different learning styles, we respond most favorably to those approaches that speak to our individual needs. Our communication is 90% nonverbal; yet few of us are effectively skilled in this area. By understanding the language of our bodies and accessing the messages that our bodies speak, we invite a deeper awareness of ourselves and of our relationship with others. Creative Process in Healing is about making choices that support the integration of our emotional, cognitive and physical well-being. When we're involved in this creative process of discovery, we can truly experience the beauty and wonder in ourselves. Biography:
